89 toyota 4x4 grabbing ruts bad

My 89 toyota is a pain to drive. Everytime i hit a rut even on the highway, i will jerk to one side. Could this be fixed somehow? Alignment?

If your alignment is out too bad, your truck will tend to dart around when you hit a bump.

Check out your front end for wear:

Wheel bearings
tie rods
idler arm
steering stabilizer
