I don't have any play in my steering either. It could be that the steering linkage has loosened. I'd get it checked out asap.

Here's the exploded view of the steering column from the service manual. You can see the joints at the top and bottom. My concern is that the play you're feeling could be due to loosening at one of those joints.
