I'd start with the track rods but its worth looking at the steering damper too.

I'll be up your way tomorrow, if I get a chance I'll call in.

Blend motors - bit of an arse to access but well worth doing

+1 on blend motors.
Check all steering joints and damper.
If you do the blend motors, change heater core o rings at the same time as they WILL leak at some point, and it saves stripping the dash again. They only cost a few pennies.
