Smile Waivering Steering Problem

I have an 80 series that does not track correctly on the open road. In the straight ahead position it seems to waiver and I am always correcting this. Don't get me wrong. It's not that serious! (Registration checks have never picked anything up.) Seems that other vehicles, form slight wheel ruts in our secondary roads and because of the LC's wide track it's either in a rut or out.
Is it normal for a LC to do this?
I'm thinking that I should replace some steering bushes and stuff.
Got no idea what though.
Seems to me that something in the front end may be worn and causing my cruiser to float just that little bit! I'm pretty fastidious about mechanicals. Also planning a big trip around Aus so want everything to be AOK!
My wife does not like driving the LC because of this steering float.
Not that I want her to drive it but sometimes on a long trip in Aus I need her to do a bit of the driving. I'd also like her to enjoy driving it, cause they are a brilliant vehicle.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is my first thread so if I've done anything wrong, forgive me.
