Default Steering Problem Help Please

recently ive noticed that there is alot of play in my steering wheel, and that it shakes back and fourth while driving. Also any bump in the road jerks the wheel suddenly!!! This bewilders me so any help would be appreciated thank you.

Tie rod ends are probably loose as well as possibly the ball joints. The shaking wheel is probably an out of balance or a broken belt.

If it's a body lift, you might want to check out your steering shaft. You have to extend the steering shaft and the kits will come with an extension.

They may not have it tight enough or didn't put it in correctly
