Ok here are the specs for steering wheel free play. Free play in either direction must not exceed 13-26 mm (0.512-01.24 inches). If the measurements go beyond this check worn ball joints,worn idler arm bushings, loose wheel bearings(on the bearings I never have seen this as a problem personally) and last worn or out of adjustment steering gear(that is the gear box for the powering steering. I would definetly check the tie rods for wear,and the upper and lower ball joints for busted rubber boots.Unless the gear box is leaking or the bushing in the top show alot of wear start with the simple items.All this is straight out of the chiltons manual,aside from my comments.And note steering free play is measured left to right!! with the wheel centered turn left until the resistance stops the wheel,same for right.If it exceeds it,check the stuff above for wear.

1984 Ford F150 when shifted into 4X4 and manuely locking the hubs you try to drive and front steering locks up and will not move put in two wheel drive and unlock will free up?
Do you mean that you cannot turn the steering wheel left or right? When you say that "steering locks up" it sounds as though you're talking about the steering wheel. Other than that, I would suspect the transfer case. On a truck this old, the transfer case could be rusted up.

If you need new CV axles on a 1994 Mazda 626 and it seems to you that your steering wheel turns more than it is suppose to what can make this happen?
Not sure what you mean by the steering wheel turning "more than it is supposed to". If it feels sloppy, it could be caused by several steering components. On a '94, I'd certainly check ball joints, tie rod ends and strut bearings for looseness.
