what is the leading cause of a sn95 to wonder all over the road?

OP, does your steering wheel have some play in it before it feels like its trying to turn? When it "wonders all over the road" is it pulling the steering wheel with it or does the wheel stay where it is and the car just moves on its own?

Do you know if it's ever been wrecked? Even a little bit of a fender bender could have completely knocked it out alignment. Also, check where the rack goes through the firewall on the interior of the car, mine was missing two little bolts keeping the flange in place so the rack would turn without me turning it as I went down a bumpy road. Just give us a run down of the stang's specs and any mods it might have alot its history and guage readings. More specific you are the easier it is to help

no wreaks i know of. you can hold the steering wheel straight, it will pull to one direction then wonder in the other direction. if you turn the wheel it does seem to respond late.ill check to see about the flange bolts today.

What you're experiencing is called Roll Steer. The main cause is dead front shocks. In roll steer, one wheel rises as the other falls. Typically this produces "toe in" on one wheel, and "toe out" on the other, thus producing a steering effect.
