Wander is often due to bad tie rods. Check for play by shaking the wheel with it off the ground, side to side, or by grabbing the tie rod end and attempting to find some play.
As far as bushings...
I have replaced the rear control arm bushings on my 1995...same as your '94. They cost $15 each and generally the ones which get "soft"...mind had several stress cracks and were very soft compared to the new ones. There is also a bushing where the two control arms come together, but this one is solid rubber and costs $90 each...mine looked fine. There is another bushing where the front control arm pivot bolts to the subframe. I would say the only ones which significantly breakdown are the rearmost ones.
If you decide to replace them, let me know and I'll tell you how I did it...I was able to get them in without a press.
Nick.
