a v8s just alot more power than the 5's were made for. its typical i wouldnt worry about it... i mean they made the 5 back in 1955. and the only motor was an f-head 4 cylinder and the buick v6... amc took over around 76 and some had stock v8's but they never changed the frame at all from the original

Check all of your steering components, TREs, BJs mainly. If there is play in them that will cause it to wander all over.
