I also duplicate the noise having anther person jiggle the steering wheel back and forth by 1 inch each side while I listened and felt for the play under the car. Mine does this while parked. Unlike other members, I don't notice noise or other steering problems at low speed. However, the steering wheel wobbles between 60 to 75mpg but smooth out hat faster speeds. Its got 110k miles now, not sure to get rid of it soon or fix it. I just spent a grand replacing struts and shocks. Hate going through this with older cars.

I have similar problems, did you end up fixing it?
