Does that make sense?

I just tried to rock it but everything felt solid and I didn't hear any noise at all. Do you think a loose lower arm would make some sort of noise?

Not necessarily, because those joints are rubber or neoprene. If one is partially torn it would give more under a side load - like when turning.

...or I could be totally out to lunch.

Does it pull when you're braking?

Do you have any pics of the damage?
When it pulls do you get any warning lights? The traction control and ABS systems are very sensitive too any variation in wheel rotation and should give a warning if something is out of kilter.

This to me sounds like it could be a wheel bearing. I experienced this on my truck, which for some reason didn't have the "normal" grinding sounds, but when I switched lanes the truck felt like it got "wobbly" when the wheel travelled over the crown in the road separating the lanes, and generally felt like something was loose but I couldn't figure it out for the longest time. Then one day I jacked it up and noticed a super fine amount of play, had it replaced and voila no more issues. My two cents.

Updates, man. Updates!

No It won't pull under braking unless the ground is really uneven but on flat surfaces it brakes fine. I went to the body shop that fixed my car to have them see if they missed anything and they can't figure it out so I have to wait now till Friday to take it to my regular alignment shop to see what's going on. The body shop said they couldn't give me a proper alignment because of my coilovers so I have a feeling they really didn't do too much. I have a printout of my alignment if u want to see if anything is off

Yea when it starts to pull my traction control light will come on and I can feel it trying to kill the power. But the body shop can't seem to find anything wrong? There trying to tell me it's because I am running 255's all around and its grabbing every groove on the road, which is bull.

I'm starting to think @dradernh was on point. No more armchair troubleshooting from me. Just really curious and hoping the best for you.

I agree with it sounding like the toe in the rear is off. Make sure the toe is IN and not out. As in the front of the rear tires should not be pointing away from the car. Toeing out the the rear will make the rear of the car want to step out.

Here is a pic of the alignment that the body shop gave me.

You appear to have toe out on the right rear exactly as suggested above.
This would make the ass step out to the right on a left turn

Last week you said you didn't have this! Had you posted this it would've been obvious.

You're welcome for the troubleshoot. Now start looking for bent suspension parts.

Back it up there, Skippy. You're welcome to reread. We'll be here awaiting your apology.

This is the part of OPs response I was referring to. Do you read it differently?
