150,000....Idler Arm, and Pitman Arm (Both easy to replace).
Ball joints.
U-joints on the steering column shaft.

I?m not entirely sure what could cause the problem. I would probably jack up the front end. Then, I would try to move the tires side to side to see if the linkage has worn out. Just a thought.
My 89 with 220,000 miles has a plain old loose steering gear. See if the wheel will move excessively w/o moving the steering linkage. That isolates it pretty fast.

I meant steering wheel there.
