You need to replace your steering shaft as the factory one is crap and probably rotted out.

Since your sig. shows a 2wd than its a wheel bearing problem most likely, could be a ball joint.

Then it could be a kingpin issue but most likely a wheel bearing.

If it's a wheel bearing and it's that bad, you're in imminent danger of being a 3 wheeler.

Good luck with that!
