I would think if it were the tie rod bushings, he would need to constantly move the steering wheel to be stable, not the other way around like he describes.

It seems like an alignment could be an issue. But, have you replaced your rear tires recently? If you have and they have crappy, low speed rating, this could happen. It happened to me on my Miata...I was trying to be cheap and used S rated tires...it was swimming all over the place. At highway speeds, it was dangerous. I am not sure if they even make tires this size in crappy speed ratings, but just food for thought....
