Default Weird wobbles on freeway

So sometimes on the freeway at around 60-70... I'll notice the car pull slightly into a direction and back the other way. I'm not sure if its the road i'm on or what.


I have a 92 sc3 bone stock....

and ideas?

You'd hear the suspension creaking/knocking over bumps (e.g. potholes, speedhumps) if your bushes are gone.

first and foremost get an alignment. if you cant let go of the wheel on a straight road and have it stay straight, at least one of the alignment parameters is out.

i'm pretty sure it's not the alignment... it drives straight fine

i can keep a firm grip on the wheel and you'll slightly feel it pull to a side... you'll try and correct... and it's as if it over corrects... somewhat kind of like loose steering
