I have an '88 Chevy k 1500 pick up. Both the front end and back end seem to slip to the outside when I turn and the road is bumpy. Sort of like chatters to the outside, more so on back than front. Is this bad shocks, or something more?

Could be just bad shock absorbers but also check the control arm bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends. This can also be aggravated by incorrect ride height. All tire and alignment shops have a small book that shows where to take ride height measurements and what they should be.
