Popping sound when turning.

My lift started popping in turns last week and today it is actually driving steering funny. Almost like a ball joint feels when it is going out in your car. Like bearings or ball joint. I checked the lower chain that goes around the steering shaft and it is so loose I could probably get it to jump if I wanted too. Is that normal? I am not sure how much play that lower chain is supposed to have in it. The popping noise I am talking about comes from directly under the safety pedal.
