Front End Problems

My '85 Camaro is losing front end alignment at low speeds, like around 30-35 mph. What I mean by losing alignment is that my tires wobble and it causes my whole car to shake uncontrollably. As soon as I stop it is fine again and sometimes I can accelerate if I feel it in time and it won't happen. I know the bushing on my sway bar are shot. I am replacing them next week as soon as they come in. I am curious if there are any other vital parts of my front end that need to be evaluated as well? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you probably need a new idler/pitman arm.

Check your front wheel bearings as well, one of them might be loose or worn out.

Check everything. Have it put on a lift and inspected. Better safe than sorry.

Thats what i did, problem solved. Thats what it needed too. Cars this old will wear out sitting in a driveway all their lives. My car is a prime example.
