Michel,
Yes, things should be tight in the front end of your car. Buy a
major front suspension rebuild kit for both sides.
The most common thing to go is the set of nylon top-hat bushes inside
the lower trunnion pivot, but the trunnion threads could also be worn. When
you reassemble the lower trunnion, do not put grease into the threads, but
EP-90 or equivalent. Get enough in there so the threads of the vertical link
are 'bathing' in it. You'll see when you get in there.
The ball joints will also be included in the kits.
Expect to replace the nylon top-hat bushes every few years; the GT-6 engine
puts an awful lot of wear on them in a short time. The kit for those is
cheap though, around $15.00 .
I hope this helps.
