Front end wandering

I use it to tow boats so I used 79' Buick "B" body springs with coilover shocks to get lots of tire clearence. This causes the rear to swing down and forward and I have about 2" from the wheelwell. I've also been known to squeeze 30 cases of beer into the back which works out to about 1000 lbs. She never bottoms out and never complains.
 
Check the upper ball joints. Put the car on jackstands & push & pull the top of the tire, if it moves, your upper ball joints are bad.

Tried that and they seem tight. It drives alot better now, but i am installing a set of drop spindles hopefully this week so i will do ball joints while its apart anyway. Got all the parts, just need the time now. :?
