2003 Sedona play in steering

[hevi99]

I have a 2003 Sedona EX and recently it developed a little bit of play in the steering wheel. If the wheel is centered it's got about 1.5 inch play in both directions before it actually starts to turn. I haven't had to much of a chance to look at it cause of the weather, but any ideas on where to start or what the problem could be?

Ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, just to name a few. Maybe the steering rack itself, but check the first few before the rack.

Ball joints, tie rod ends and control arms seem good. New symptom started today, now it's making a clicking noise when turning. Some people said to check the intermediate shaft, it's really cold today so I haven't had a chance to check the bottom side of the shaft the top is good and don't have any play. I'm leaning towards the rack which sucks.

can also take it to a alignment place and they can tell you what needs to be replaced
