There is a steering damper connected to the steering arm; it and/or the 
rubber bushing that it mounts in may need to be replaced. You may have an 
upper torsion bar which is loose in the left upper trailing arm; this should be 
checked and fixed before it destroys valuable parts.

But the first thing I would check would be the tire pressure: Don't put more 
than 20 psi in them. For a fastback I would inflate the tires to 19/27 psi 
front/rear. No more.
