91 Cherokee - Steering feels squirrelly
 

My 91 Cherokee's steering is starting to feel a little squirrelly. It
requires lots of corrections while steering. I took it in for tires
and asked them to align it. They said the track bar and swaybar links
needed replaced before they could align it. I had already planned to
pull the front axles this winter and replace the u-joints,
inspect/replace the bearings, install new pads and rotors. I plan to
correct the steering problems at the same time. I will replace the
trackbar and swaybar links. What other steering components on the
front and rear end should I look at that could contribute to this
condition? Thanks for your help!

A worn tie rod end can make it track strange, so can a worn ball joint..

Worn bushings are the biggest thing though.
