Question Steering Issue??????

My dad has an 02 7.3 dually, four door, long bed. The steering started acting up a couple weeks ago and is getting worse fast... It has 200k on it and I replaced tie rods a last year. You can drive it down the road and it goes perfectly straight, take a curve and it wanders all over the road untill you get to next curve then it may drive straight after it. Never know sometimes it acts up and sometimes it drives totally fine but when it does act up it will almost pull you off the road... I have checked all the linkage and can't find any slop anywhere. I am wondering if it could be the steering box or maybe a u joint or something. The steering is really not got much slop in it just a severe wandering problem. Thanks
