85 CJ7 Squirrely front end

My CJ7 rides OK except if you make a quick movement of the steering wheel it feels as if the Jeep will take off by itself in an oversteer. Feels very unsafe to me. Could this be "normal"? Or what is the fix? Is there a bolt on stabilizer or something? I'm attaching small pics of the front springs, wheel and tire if this helps.

I installed a Rancho steering stabelizer and replaced the tie rods on my 85 CJ7 which had 14k mile at the time. It really improved the steering stability.
 
jack up the front and check for play in the tire...indicates worn wheel bearings. i put new ones in mine and had a world of difference...i also has 1/8 in play or more!!
