If the control column bushings are worn that could produce a condition as you describe. With the floorboard removed, look for forward-aft motion in the lower collar as you turn the control wheel(s). Of course, the chains and U-joints should show very little looseness. Be aware that the u-joints are connected to the control wheel shafts by taper pins, not bolts. Wear in the upper control column bushing is masked somewhat by the taughtness of the chain and I believe the lower one usually wears faster.
