Check all of your steering componets..... including the frame behind the steering box. It's probably just worn steering componets but if the rig has been wheeled hard, it could be a crack in the frame at the steering box.

Or a cracked tube that goes across the front of the frame, I broke that one once

also check the front hubs and make sure they are torqued properly.  When I first got mine the hubs were never serviced or repacked and were very loose.  After tightening them down it made a difference in the play of the front end.

Pump with bracket, box, lines, reservoir, steering shaft.  Take old manual steering off, bolt new PS on.
