I had to that problem as well. I found it was the drag link. Works good now.

The first thing that I do when mine seems loose is inject grease on all joints on the tie rods and steering linkages. It seems to help a little bit.

Loosen the connectors for the rag joint. Loosen the steering column inside the cab, under the dash and at the firewall. Pull the steering column up to give you more room to work, then tighten the under dash bolts to hold the column up.
