Welcome 
I was exactly where you were a few years back. A basic service is good place to start. New oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs and fuel filter.
Tim is correct, jack up the car (use a trolley jack if you've got one) and put it on axle stands. Then check for play in the front components. Worn ball joints, wheel bearings and track rod ends are common sources of dodgy steering feel when driving.
Pick up a haynes manual if you can (preferably an older copy (70s edition) as it has a bit more detail for the older cars) as they're super useful. Also ask lots of questions to people who've done this stuff before, they're usually super welcoming and have knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
