side to side movement

just picked up an 87 gta with 60,000 miles. the car has alot of side to side body movement, trying to figure out the cause as my other two thirdgens aren't like this. you can shake the car side to side with little effort. all of the suspension looks to be in decent shape. any suggestions?

Pan hard bar is screwed up and I'm willing to bet that it has the original bushings thoughout the the car.

What size tires are on it, more specfically the side wall height.

Yup, its probably the bushings. I would do em all at once if possible.
