    Could be the tierod ends to both the drag link and center link, ball joints, and steering gear box. Try greasing everything first of all of the above except the gear box and see if that fixes it. If no grease zerk fittings on the above mentioned then you can't grease them and they may need to be replaced. If you are on a budget, http://www.usautoparts.net/ and http://www.partsgeek.com/ have very cheap prices on no name parts. If not on a budget go with Moog replacement parts.
