An anti-sway bar is not gunna make you wander. Anti-sway bars help keep body roll down when cornering. You probably want to get an alignment and check your front brakes.

Yeah you need an alignment, its easy to do yourself its easy with a straight axle, just use a tape measure. Bring the fronts together about 1/4"

Yes your truck did come with a sway bar but it doesnt really do anything, your old springs get tired and stiffen up and give the same effect

Why would you want to do that?

By adjusting i assume you mean reindexing...?

Check balljoints, though it could be your gearbox.
Take it to an alignment shop.
