There's a few different things it can be. Tie rod(s), pitman arm could even be loose steering gear box. Best thing to do is crawl under there, use ramps if you have to but keep the weight on the wheels, and have someone turn the wheel side to side with engine off. Not where it's physically turning the tires, your just looking at all the moving joints for excessive movement. You can also squeeze the tie rods with a big pair of channel locks to look for excessive play in ball and socket of tie rod ends. But you will see this with someone wiggling steering wheel back and forth. Good luck and welcome to the site.
