Bad A-Frame Bushings?

My 84 Camaro Z28 kind of wanders back and forth across the road and lurches forward when you brake. I was told that the A-Frame had bad bushings and I can't really tell if thats right or not. Any help would be great. Thanks!!!

Since your car is 20+ years old, it probably needs a front end rebuild: idler arm, center link, etc. The a-arm bushings are no doubt shot as are the rest of the rubber bushings in the car. Braking? Warped rotors, bad calipers/pads, hoses. Difficult to say.
