Default help probs with my mk5 RS2k

i bought a mk5 RS2000 as my new daily runabout

its got dangerous handling problems

its all over the road it feels like the wheels are bolted to the car with jelly

when you put your foot down it just throws you off into the other lane, its worst in the wet it can do in any direction

it wobbles about a bit when just driving, you cant drive it fast because you dont know where you'll end up

i was overtaking a car and it nearly pulled me into side of her.

i've had a bottom arm replaced and now it pulls to the right all the time as well

had tracking done.

i dont want to keep replacing parts and find its not fixed the problem as i cant afford it

have been told it could be driveshafts or wishbones, this sound correct?

No1 you ALWAYS replace wish bones in pairs as you said youve only replaced one these are the main problem with mk5s ,cant seeing it being the driveshafts as this wouldnt really make it swerve all over the road,just you may get a knocking sound when on lock to lock on bumps(that would indicate that the cv joints are fooked),just check ya track rod ends and front springs as they maybe broken (CHECK THOROUGHLY)! let me know how you get on!
