I was told the rack and pinion needs to be replaced and I was checking was there any other things that could cause this. I also was told that the lower A arm and bushing needs to be replaced. The swaying from side to side when driving is dangerous becuse when u get ready to turn the wheel the steering wheel turns but the wheel isn't at the same time. The car also pulls to the right on the same side of the lower A arm that needs to be replaced.

There are dozens of things than can lead to poor handling like that. The only way to know is to visually inspect the car which it appears you have already had done.

Could the rack and pinion be the cause of the swaying?

The rack is associated with the steering and not the suspension. It can effect the steering to the point that it will handle strange and cause the car to "wander" but without driving the vehicle, it's difficult to tell you if that is the case for you.
