This can be done by having the vehicle on the ground, and feeling the "free play" in the steering wheel with the road wheels in the straight ahead position.

When your steering becomes and loose and woolly, your steering box is normally the culprit. Over time, the cogs in the box will wear slightly and loosen from each other. There are set screws on the box to help minimize this effect without needed to buy a new box. however, the adjustment is slight without locking the steering up, so you may just need to get a new box.
