Tie rods! Big reason for that, and they can go quickly! Mine did. I could move my drag link about a 1/4" each way, which is like 3-4" at the wheels. Had a lot of bump steer!
Steering box.
There are a few other things that it could be, but check your tie rods. $33-43 for uppers or lowers at CT last I checked. I ended up payning $80 from thw dealer.

Ah! If there are sounds coming from the colomn and steering box, you need a new box. Or a rebuild. Have you noticed if it leaks? Could also be the knuckle going in the idler arm to the box.
