Hello fellow jeepers,
So recently i have been noticing my steering wheel has a little play when driving straight on the freeway.

This happened after some wheeling, but I do not think I damaged anything.
What could be causing this and do I need to upgrade something?

I have the 2.5" aiv lift kit.
35" tires
Armor all around
I installed the terraflex HD ball joint
Yeti Draglink with griffing xd
 
I would do a dry steering test. That will show you if there is any play in any of the steering joints.
 
Here are a couple links to videos explaining what the parts are and how to do a dry steering test. I believe they are using a JK as well. The second video is the actual test portion.

More than likely, you have a track bar bolt that is loose. That is common after wheeling. I would check to make sure they are tightened to 125 ft. lbs. of torque.
