Default Sloppy/Unresponsive Sreering

I am wondering if anyone as experienced the following steering issue. When turning or simply making a lane change, the steering is hardly responsive. I can move the wheel quite a bit (not sure if i should measure in inches of movement or in degrees) before the car reacts.

I haven't climbed underneath to inspect any steering parts, planning on it tomorrow when I have more time. It may have something to do with outer or inner tie rod ends (doubt it) , the entire rack and pinion or mounting bushings, or the pump. These are just some areas I could check, any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys

Default Bushings

Its probably a simple fix...... there's quite a few YouTube videos on how to replace steering rack bushings
