The other day I was pulling an empty 16' trailer with an 86 gmc 1/2 ton 2wd long bed. every time I got over 45mph or hit a bump in the road it would start randomly pulling to one side or the other as if I had steered it there and when I would pull it back the slightest turn of the wheel would send me in the other lane. I have visually inspected the the steering components I could see without a lift and nothing seems too worn. What could be causing this?

It did not do this empty although the truck never did seem to handle well. It also did not do it pulling my blazer a couple weeks ago.
