If it were my car I would check the steering gear box by moving the steering wheel in the center position, key on, engine off. Is there excessive play? Do you hear any clunking?

I would go under the car and take one end of the steering dampener off and see if it still provides even resistance or does it skip or simply off not resistance at all?

I would check the front and rear sway bar rubber mounts and the rear sway bar links (plastic and vertical attachments on each rear wheel).

I would check the steering tie rod ends and the center link assembly to see if they are worn. I would also check the center link attachment to the body and see if it is worn (opposite the steering box).
