1. Shaking the steering wheel side to side,
2. Turning the wheel L-R full lock,
while you are underneath watching the steering components. I'll bet the issue will be obvious.

It needs to be on the ground to check these as some stress needs to be on them. Check the ride height of your RC lift if its 2 yrs. old it could have sagged by now. If TRE's need to be replaced use ones from a mid 90's V-8 GC much stronger than the stock ones and a direct bolt-in.
Steve is correct on the CA's as well mine were bad on my 99 and I replaced them with adj upper and lowers.

It needs to be checked both ways.
