With 193k miles on it, it could need new upper, lower ball joints, new tie rods, new steering gear box, new steering shaft, or any combination of the above. The condition of the front tires would, of course, also effect steering.
There is also an adjustment screw atop the steering gear box which can tighten steering if everything else is in good shape.
I think large, wide mud tires also tend to "follow" the contours of the street and terrain, creating a feeling of "wandering" steering.
"There are chords in the heart of every man, which cannot be touched without emotion- even with the utterly lost, to whom both life and death are equally jest, there are some matters of which no joke can be made."- Edgar Allen Poe
