I just bought a 1982 collectors edition and the front end is a little lose. It follows the road and jerks to the right. The car has only 43,000 miles and seems like it has been garaged and well taken care of. Does anyone have a suggestion on what may need replaced. thanks for any help you may have

 

Check your steering knuckles and ball joints.
Idler arm too.

 

....and wheel bearings.

 

Jack up one wheel and try to wiggle the tire, side to side and top to bottom. If ya have any slack, look at the steering linkage while a friend wiggles the tire. Repeat with the other front tire.
Top to bottom looseness is most likely a wheel bearing or ball joint.
Hope this helps.
