a bit shifty when loaded

I bought a used 99 Camry Le with 39K on it. The tires have 32 psi on it and I had 4 people in the car with a suitcase in the back and a full tank of gas. I found the car a bit shifty at about 60 mph at times. I sometimes find myself constantly making corrections to keep straight. When the load was gone, the car was a bit more stable. There are no unusual tire ware so I'm not sure if it needs an alignment or should I have other suspension parts checked. Other than that the car runs fine. The previous owner was newly wed so the car usually carried no more than 2 people.

The car was never in an accident.

Check to see that the controlling arms have both their bolts screwed in.

My passenger side was missing and the car never wanted to drive straight.
