Honestly it sounded to me like you were responding to the OE shocks being known for their underdamping behavior. Replacing shocks with OE replacements will not cure this, as they will have the same spec that no one likes, you will have to go to the aftermarket for a fix. A loose strut tower is definitely not a good thing to have, but it would most likely cause the car to pull one direction when you take your hands off the wheel. Bump steer = dampers. Loose steering feel = dampers. Road force causing the car to float and steer on its own = dampers.
