Bad shocks, alignment, worn out suspension parts, loose sub frame . Has the front end ever been rebuilt ??

thank you for the prompt reply.

i don't think it has been looked at in a few decades.

solution? how to fix?

it does have front disk brakes tho

it has wheel locks on them so i haven't gotten to breaking those free yet.

Sounds like bump steer to me, but could be as simple as tire pressure. This is where I would start. Could also be the rear spring shackles, are they stock or extended? Are the bolts tight?

They make a special socket to remove broken wheel locks. Take it to a tire shop& pay them a few $$
