Put the front axle on 2 jack stands (right beneath the bolt head on the bottom near the knuckle) and get underneath. See how much slop your steering linkage has, and exactly where it's loose. Don't forget to check the axle pivot bushings/bolts, radius arm bushings, and the ball joints. You can also have an assistant wiggle the steering wheel slowly to see if the linkage follows the steering wheel exactly.
