It depends on the type of vehicle and the steering system that it has. If the vehicle has rack and pinion steering, it may be a bad rack and pinion. If the vehicle has a steering gear, like most older cars of pickup trucks, It could have a bad steering gear.

What is the rack and pinion in rack and pinion steering?
A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion (by the steering wheel) will cause the rack to move to one side or the other, right up to the limit of its travel. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. This arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and greater feedback, or steering "feel". If you guessed that rack and pinion steering is used on race cars, you'd be correct. Use the links below to see some diagrams. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words in this case.

What is steering joints and and couplings?

Why is there play in your steering wheel?
In an older vehicle with Pittman steering, a certain amount of steering wheel play is normal. In a newer vehicle with rack and pinion steering (and almost all cars now have it) only a tiny bit of play is normal. More than that should be checked - it's possible part of the steering column is damaged, and the car may be unsafe to drive. If your car is a later model with rack and pinion, and there is enough steering wheel play to notice, get it checked out, pronto.
