I would like to thank those who sent a reply to my quest to fix my steering problem. I believe the problem is near the top of the steering column somewhere close to the base of the wheel. I recently had the steering box replaced, and from the wobble I believe something has given way near the top of the column. The wheel is also able to be pulled out slightly toward the driver. This is not just a slight wobble, but I am able to move the wheel from side to side about six inches, which is why I think it is a bearing or bushing of some sort, and not related to any of the suspension or lower steering areas. The car is also running on fairly new radial tires. I was able to locate a shop called Steering Columns Galore, but it was too late to call today, so I will try them tomorrow.
