Have you had it aligned? You need to fully check the suspension. Jack it up put the front on jackstands and have someone move the wheel while you look at every joint and bushing from 6 to 12 inches away. Yank on the centerlink up and down to see if the idler or pitman is bad.

Check the bolts on everything. Start with the steering box. Check and adjust the wheel bearings.

Take a good hard look at where the lower control arm pivot goes thru the K frame. The welds around the tube in the K frame that support the lower control arm can crack and over time oval out the metal. If caught early enough it can be rewelded. Also check your strut rod and lower control arm bushings.
