Default Car feels a bit shakey

My car is a 1995 Wrx and when im driving it - it feels a bit shakey at times like the steering can sometimes go a bit light and it can sometimes knock not violently just slightly. It feels worst at higher speeds like 60 - 80mph and feels lighter and shakier and ive got a steering wheel wobble at this speed.
Also i can pull the front anti roll bar back and forth and the drop link moves with it on either side on the passenger and drivers side could this be my problem as the wheel bearings and everything else look fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

Get the wheels balanced first but also get the tyre fitter to check the wheels are true as well. Had the same thing on mine so stuck it up on axle stands and checked the rims for running true and found that 3 of the wheels are slightly buckled which was causing the handling problems and the vibrations through the body.
