Yea. Check the rag joint assembly. In fact as an upgrade get one of the Chevy Astro van shafts and bolt that up in place. It uses u-joints instead of the rag joint. I got mine for about $50 and it was welded up right and painted from Matt walker on thirdgen.org. But I saw him in person at Carlisle so I didn't have to pay shipping. You could also try to find one at a local u-pull it yard too though. As also mentioned above, the center link and idler Arm could be worn out. Also there has been some long long discussions about the steering boxes in these cars on the thirdgen .org forum. Some people mod them too or swap to a refurbished high-ratio one. I think that car being a GTA it should have the high ratio box but maybe it's worn inside. Or simply maybe just has an air bubble in the fluid system/lines/resivour

As for brake lines... skip rubber ones and get some stainless steel braided lines instead
