check out the linkage on the transmission sometimes the bolt can loosen up or the linkage cable in the steering colomn may need to be tightened.
Loose steering: You notice how steering wheel is very easy to move and feels sloppy.

Have someone rock the steering wheel back and forth as you inspect the steering linkage for loose joints.
an idler arm holds the right side of the steering linkage.its job is to mirror the movement of the pittman arm.the pittman arm holds the left side of the linkage(pittman arm is attached to the steering gear. i.e. when you turn the steering wheel,the steering gear turns the pittman arm,which moves the steering linkage,which turns the tires.) idler and pittman need to move together so tires move together. (for more info try searching "parallel steering linkage")
