’94 Kodiak, steering from hell

Gents,

I was given a ’94 Kodiak by an old farmer acquaintance. Its in pretty rough shape, and will require a fair bit of work to get "nice" again. Mostly just wear items that havnt been replaced, so no big deal.
However, the tires are bald and "scupped". I took it for a drive and the thing wants to steer everywhere other than where you want it to go! First gear is dangerous, nevermind highway speeds. I figured it was ball joints or tie rod ends, but they check out ok, as do the a arm bushings.
Would alignment make this big of a problem?
Both front shocks need replacement, but I wouldn’t think that would cause the hunting either.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, as the thing is worse to ride than an angry steer! lol

Sweet forum here BTW!
