Talking front end problems

I have a 99 f-250 and am having some front end problems. the steering wheel has a lot of play in it. It has been aligned very recently,and seems to run strait but it floats so bad it's hard to tell. Tire wear is eaven and all the ball joints (upper and lower) are all new. could it possibly be the rag joint? and are they easy to replace? another wierd thing happening is that when I get on it, the truck pulls to the left but when i let off the pettal the truck will pull back to the right. this truck is a daily driver and I am very rarely seen driving anything else, but I had to use my dads truck for a few days and after driving his then getting back in mine I can realy notice how bad my truck has gotten.

Have a friend rotate the steering clockwise and counter clockwise. Inspect all parts
such as https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...00&postcount=2
When inspecting the front wheel bearing, lift the tire off the ground, grab tire and move the tire back and forth from top to bottom.
