i will check the u-bolts tomorrow because i just had spring work done at harolds frame shop and the axle must be in at a slight angle because i hae to hold the steering wheel 1/8 turn to the left to go straight. i have no uneven tire wear. what are the sway bar bushings??

The sway bar goes from the axle to the frame and back to the axle. It is a big round bar that limits body sway. There are bushings in all the places were the sway bar is mounted to the axle, frame, and link rods that go on the ends of the sway bar.
Since you said you had axle work done, that sounds more likely to be the problem. Sounds like you need a 4-wheel alignment now to get the truck going straight down the road.
