Too much play in steering wheel

Ford Escape 2008 Steering 123000 miles
I've noticed that while driving, especially at a fast speed, that there is way too much free play in my wheel. If I am going around a curve at a high speed , I have to grip the wheel in order for the truck to not take itself into another lane. Sometime when just driving straight you can still feel the steering wheel pull from you. I took to get a alignment, but none was needed.
