2 Steering Is Loose problem

Failure Date: 03/10/1999

Steering seems loose and sloppy, vehicle wanders, same amount of input produces differrent results at different time. Almost like tie rod ends are bad. 3 trips to dealer - once said it was just speed sensitive steering; once @ 38,510 miles replaced evo sensor; again @ 39,846 miles aligned and removed knockout saying that should fix. Still wanders, feels sloppy, and makes me wonder if I'm in full control of the vehicle.
