Theyre called control arms. The bushings I posted are polyurethane stock replacements.

wonder steering? ...Do you mean steering wander? If so thier are a number of things to check....I just went through this. best this to do is have someone steer back and forth while your under the front look carefully at the pitman arm and other components for side to side movement and slop..therer is a bracket to remove sector shaft play / wobble at the pitman arm location and an adjustment to remove play in the steering box...also check you steering shaft for slop from end to end... If you use the search function and type "steering" you will find all the answers your looking for much faster.

You'd have to call and ask cause it says 00-01 but these are in my 97 but I've got skyjacker control arms. They should fit though.
Even with SJ arms the cam bolts are much larger on a 00-up so dont know how you got them to work on a 97. Installing them on a 99-down would give a bunch of slop in said arm as the sleeves are larger inside the bushings. Got pic's ? To the op......Energy suspension makes CONTROL ARM(4X4), A-ARM (4X2) bushings.

Lmc sells stock control arms. That's the kit I bought and they're on my truck so I'm not sure why/how they work but they do.
