Several items Tom,
Each has some effect.
1}The Universal joint near the gauges in the hood need to be checked for slop both in the caps, and the cross. There is also a good chance that the keyways on the shafts may be loose.
2}The sector and worm in the gear box on top of the bolster may be loose/worn. Watch the shaft where it enters the box to see if it seems to move in and out when turning the wheel within the play. If it does, that play needs to be adjused out, With shims under the bearings, or adjustment of the plug in the very front of the box. New bearings may be needed.
3}The sector may be worn. Some are full circle gears and can be flipped over to get a new spot for wear. Others are half gears and cannot be flipped. if worn. NOS, or good used are needed. (there was a thread several months back about rbuilt gears).
4}Bolster bearings and bushings can make hard and sloppy steering. disassembling the front shaft from thhe boldter is simple, but requires jacking and support. I hope this helped. JimN
