2008 steering column

I'm towing and can feel a rattle in the wheel with every little bump on the road. Not as noticeable with no trailer. What was wrong and how much to fix?

Previous truck had a squeek. Like a dry bearing or something. Was the steering box itself.

I'd suggest a visual of all the steering components and if you can't find anything wrong then consider taking it in.

Ball joints and steering box are good spots to look first!

My steering box was replaced 10k miles ago with a redhead. So I'm gonna rule that out. Truck has 60k on it.
