Default Suspension Question?

Hello, I have a 92 with FX3 (Adjustable Suspension) FE7 (Heavy Duty Suspension) and Z07 Suspension Package. I feel there is a problem with my suspension. Every time I GAS it, it feels as if the car twists a little and wants to vier to the right. Is this just something an alignment would take care of? I know that it could use a slight alignment but these shocks are the origional and im just wondering if any of you with the same set up have felt this in there car due to warn shocks. If so, is there any way to service them, or is this going to be an expensive problem to fix? Thanks for any advise

My 85 felt like that. When I looked at the rear suspension, i noticed the bushings were shot on the rear strut rods. A new set from Ecklers was only $100. Drives like anew car now.

Or one of the rear "tie rod ends"... I had a similar situation , when I would "romp on it" the car would almost do a 180 the tie rod end was bad and "steering the car HEH...

Hope this helps...
