I can't seem to get my steering issue to go away. On the highway I am getting a floating/skating feel which seems to make me turn the wheel more to control the steering.

Check tie rods & ball joints for play BUT...

Steering in these trucks is kinda so-so & the pitman arms & idler arms take a lot of the abuse causing a loose feeling. Parts are reasonable inexpensive & can be replace in a few hours.

Could this be the cause?

Doesn't look like the other side.

Can't tell with just a pic. On mine, my pitman & idler are worn & when I turn my steering wheel a second person under the truck can actually see the parts shift before the wheels move.

The pic looks fine BUT determining excess play in the parts will tell you if something needs replacement.
