poor handling

My 84 t/a has a handling issue that i could use some help on. When i'm driving on the highway the car handles great. When i drive on any uneven road or anything with a slight dip or something the car wants to dance all over. Mostly heading to the right and when it goes you better be hanging on. I'm affraid that if I don't get this figured out I will wreck it. I have checked the front end out several times. Replaced both ball joints and also aligned it. Nothing seems to help. Any help would be great.

Re: poor handling

Yes about the Struts & shocks and don't forget those SAGGING springs everybody claims to have.

Re: poor handling

Check all the sway bar end link bushings while your at it.

These cars are getting old now, and all of the suspension components should be replaced if it was not already done...IMO.
