Wants to wonder a bit
My now 2wd 88 full size bronco wants to wonder and dart to either side side when hitting bumps and uneven pavement,when I done the conversion it received new ball joints and radius arm bushings and the tie rod ends and drag link were tight and has done this since day one. On smooth pavement it goes down the road straight and stops straight too,tires are wearing even so what should I check since everything seems to be right.

We'll assume everything up front is tight - this ain't your first rodeo.
Check the toe-in. Should be a little closer together at the front of the tires than at the back (1/8 - 1/4" ?).
Probably is ok if it drives straight without trying to wander.
If you put oversize tires (especially over-wide ones) or lifted it the usual solution is to put a steering damper on it. Just a shock that mounts to the inner tie rod and the frame basically, to keep the steering from reacting too fast to road shocks.
You've probably seen them before ?
