You know, I can't seee the steering column in my Dak, but there may be a mid connection like I have seen in some vehicles, like with a universal type joint. I would check it to see if anything is coming loose.

Intermediatary shaft ( i beleive )...have someone turn the wheel, if you see the joint underneath the rubber boot "pop" then you need a new shaft. I've been driving mine like that for years, it's more of an annoyance...it won't fail catastrophically.
