Inspect the underneath front section of the vehicle where all of the above is located. Be sure vehicle is in park, emergency brake own. Crank vehicle. While you get an underneath view of the steering system, have some one slowly turn the steering wheel, try moving the various rod connections(bushings) by hand.Do this latter with the vehicle off. If any part can be moved by hand it is likely worn. This also indicates the wheels are out of alignment. Check the tires by pulling the top and then the bottom to see if there is any give. If the tire can be wiggled the a fault will also be found with the bearings and bushings on the axle and should be tightened or replaced. On an older vehicle likely a combination of factors or involved such as some loosness and weAR in the steering rods and shocks or struts worn out. Vehicle not safe to drive until problem cured.
