Steering question

I just bought a 90 firebird. it has 70,000 miles.

When I reach 40mph the steering wheel wobbles back and forth really fast.
I have replaced the outer tie rods. and I am going to replace the center link and pitman arm tomorrow.
Will this fix my problem?

Those things should fix it and are definitely worth doing even if that's not the problem, if that doesn't fix it, make sure the tires are balanced correctly.

i think it may be best to inspect the car for worn or out of adjustment parts instead of just buying and replacing parts.
