My guess is that you have got more than one issue affecting your handling. on a 22 year old truck if you have got one bad bushing you have got more. Have you checked your brakes, tie rod ends & wheel bearings too?
My '81 was wandering too (no front Track bar) my issues were a combination of the drag link and a steering joint...

The "dog bone" is called the torque rod. Not sure there are aftermarket bushings for it, likely need to replace it with a used one or get an adjustable rod. It controls bump and brake steer. Tighten up and/or replace the rod ends in the drag link. Stock unit is fine, rebuild it and it should be fine.
Also, check the knuckle and wheel bearings: - http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...eRebuild.shtml
