Beginning to wander

[laserfish]

The basics first. 73 with a 3.5 inch lift, stock track bar and pitman arm. C bushings are 6 degree. Beginning to wander on the road and grab at the lines, especially around 30-40 mph. All bushings are from 2002. Is it just time to replace them all or where would you start.
Thanks

My first choice would be the trackbar bushings. Especially the upper, which seems to take a real beating.

Of course, tire wear/age can play a big role in wandering too, as can toe-in which can change (not the actual toe so much, as the "need" for a change) as well.

Hoping for an easy fix!

I wouldn't just replace them all unless you have a good reason or just plain want to. Start by getting unde there and looking for evidence of play. Have someone turn the steering wheel and look and feel for movement at the all the ends. Jack up one front wheel, grab the tire at the sides and see if there is movement from the tie rod and then at the top and bottom for the ball joints. Then move to the other side. An alignment could help too. Lots of variables so just replacing parts will get expensive quick.
