Unhappy 1986 Camry LE suspension problems?

Looking at a strange suspension problem here... The front passenger side wheel shifts forward and backward inside the wheel well. It happens when transitioning from forward travel to reverse (like when I'm parking.) What it looks like from the outside of the car is the wheel/brake/suspension hubcarrier assembly is being twisted inside the wheel well. Is there a suspension link or joint that controls this that is loose or broken?

White 1986 Toyota Camry LE, I paid $200.00 for it!

Looking for a 1986 or earlier Corolla (doesn't have to be a sport or Trueno trim level, just want a 5 speed RWD corolla.) in the $1000 range.

I would take a look at the stabilizer bar bushings. It keeps the wheels from moving back and forth lengthwise.

I would say either the ball joint or lower arm bushings where the sway bar passes through.....
