Drifting problems

Ok I am buying a 78 bronco and it has a swaying problem it drifts. I had a 79 that had this same problem and replaced the track bar this solved the problem or at least I think it was the track bar I replaced. The original owner says he ahe hadt the bearing and new lock out tire rod end and gearbox all replaced within the last year.

any suggestion you can give will help

ball joints are a good sign of a drifting problem jack up the front and grab the tire at 12:00 and 6:00 position and see if it moves if you have play there its ball joints if you move the tire at 3 and 9 oclock position its wheel bearings out of adjustment or needing replacement. the only thing left is the drag link. a good front end shop can tell you what is up also. Thanks peter
