You might have too much air in your tires. This was discussed a few days ago on this forum. If your are running up into the high 90's or low 100's try bringing them down. I know it sure improved my driving. I went from 110, because I told this was best, to 85, what is stamped on the tire, and what a difference.

Please let us know if this helps.

Could be free play in the bell crank. I replaced mine with the Henderson unit.
Could be play in the steering box itself. That can be corrected by adjustment.
Could be the panhard bar in the front or the rear. The bushings fail rather easily in those bars.

Keep your tire pressure at the specs recommended by the weight you put on them, not on the ride they give.
