Could be the castor angle mate. What does the steering feel like otherwise? Very light?

Yeah the bearing at the base of the steering column dies, fairly common. Just go to the wrecker and try and find a good one. But you have to remove it a particular way or you will stuff it. You unbolt the steering shaft in the engine bay first, then the plate at the firewall, then the rest.
Install it the opposite way. Its a bad design, but also because someone may have adjusted the steering wheel and yanked it forward, causing the bearing to come out. Also when the steering shaft is disconnected dont be tempted to spin the steering wheel as fast as you can, you will quickly f**k it.

so the bearing is at the base of the steering column behind the plate but on the "inside of the car" side of the firewall?
