More trouble for my 92se

I am having steering problems lately its very strange. First off i recently replaced the p steering pressure hose. Now no more leaky. At first i put in sythetic p steering fluid (never drove with it or ran car with it but turned wheel back and forth so it went through the lines) then i realized its not the right fluid so i sucked up all the fluid out of the resevoir and put in decron III then bled the system like it states in the haynes manual. So now everything seemed dandy until lately i have noticed, dont know if the problem was there before, that i have about a 10 degree play in my steering wheel 5 degrees both way. If i take a left turn at around 40 plus mph i can feel the tires go straight but the wheel turns for about 5 degrees. Now the wheel is cocked to the left 5 degrees so next time i take a right turn i have 10 degrees of play before the tires start to turn and then the wheel is cocked to the right. Also if i take a turn and hit a bump the steering wheel jerks a little and it sometimes changes the postion of the steering wheel either cocked left or right. Also on the express way when i change lanes i can feel the car want to follow the ruts but my steering wheel dosnt change.

Sorry its long but i cant figure anything out and i just switched all my suspension (camber kits intrax springs and tokico struts) from my 94 and now have st front and rear sway bars new tie rod ends new ball joints and wheels are balanced i feel no vibration at all car is very smooth

Just hoping someone could lead me in the right direction or if there is any kind of adjustment on the steering gear or steering wheel.

It might be your control arm bushings. My p.s. hose is leaking fluid all over my right side bushings.
