Did you have a 2nd person to help you inspect. Both my track bar where it mount to the bracket on the frame & the joint at the pitman arm looked fine to me with a little wiggling. The next day I had my daughter turn the wheel back/forth with me underneath and these two areas were quite loose. Since replacing these parts problem has been solved.

Prolly need Tie Rod ends and maybe trac bar. have a buddy turn the wheel back and forth and look at all the linkages. If your insure, take a video and post it up on here we will tell you. Look at all 4 ends of the two steering linkages. And the 2 ends of the track bar.
