Extreme Play in Steering

[99 FRUSTRATED JEEP]

I NEED HELP! I have had everything I the front end of my 99 grand Cherokee replaced in the past 2 months. Now when I drive down the freeway I have EXTREME play in the steering. Is this a normal thing? The Jeep sways from side to side freely. This is my first Jeep and had nothing but problems since I've owned it.

Loose steering is not normal for this jeep, mine drives very tight but does wander a little in cross winds due to its hight.
there are only a few things that will make a jeep steering feel loose.
1 is the track bar that holds the front end straght with the frame and will affect the steering a lot.
2 Loose steering shaft joints or steering box.
3 Bad tie rod ends or tires out of round
4 worn out shocks or bad alignment.
5 loose body to axles componites including ones on the rear axle.
Hope some of this may help locate the prolbem.
