suspension at 75mph dont feel right

ok somtings definitly up here ,,, i got a 91 r/s camaro, with the 3,1l
and the 700r4 i believe, but any way i just got this car so im doing a compleat go thru of the ride, and i notice that it pulls a lil to the right , i am aware i need an alignment, ive had plenty of rids that at one point needed one,,,, but my thing is this

while driving i feel the pull of course,,but i notice that when reaching speeds at 70 75 mph there is like a feeling of starting to swerve side to side like wind hittin the car,,this has a feeling like if i pu**** a lil harder this whould turn into kind of fish tail, is this posibly somthing im over looking like a weirded out tire,,they are both the same size the two fromts are 205 65 15 and the backs are 215/75/15 would that cause this?>im doutfull,,,surely the pull to the right whould not be a factor either right? i guess im thinking some one in here has dealed with this particular issue? and might be able to tell me what to look for like idle arm, links. bushing's

i want to fix this prob before i get alignment, cause noing my luck ill get an alignment and find out its a part that will require another alignment..

to sum it all up it just feels loose in the front..

I'm no expert so it's silly question time.
Have you checked the tyre pressures?
Is the front or rear sway bar still connected on both sides of the car?
I'd agree with you on checking links and bushings.

Best of luck

check for frame damage and rearend alignment other then that i agree with difflock...a broken or disconnected front sway bar threw me off the road at the most inopertune time,use a pry bar and move things around, dont go over board just apply pressure.... tao

You could also check the state of the flexible coupling on the steering column near to the steering box.
