Car dips - Front passenger side

Sorry for all the posts, but I just bought an 85 diesel with lots of little problems. I have noticed this car shakes pretty bad up front when you get above 60mph. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side. Also, whenever I hit a dip in the road, the front passenger side goes down twice as much as the drivers side, like the suspension is worn out on that side. What parts do you think would need replaced to correct this?

Your shaking at 60 could be a tire out of balance or with some type of defect. Your dip could just be a worn out shock. Push down on right front fender. Car should go down with your push, then rebound back up and stop. It should not bounce a second time or more.
This is just most likely and simple stuff....

Shimmy/shake could also

be bad tie rod end/s or ball joint.

Good luck,
Jim

Make sure the end of the sway bar is not broken off too.
