Take it to a shop and have the front end and steering checked. Not normal like it is.
Look for a roll pin connection pinning two shafts together.
I once had the shaft splines so short that the only thing holding it together was the roll pin. It worked its way around the shaft wearing a groove around the shaft. It eventually wore all the way around and I lost my steering ability at fifty miles and hour. I stomped on the brakes and the wheels locked to the left spinning us onto the median. Had they gone the other way we would have gone into a huge concrete drop off and most likely died. This was in 1975 and I still remember it.
use pliers hold one shaft while someone wiggles the steering wheel to check to see if the shafts are slipping.
