All of a sudden my steering wheel has a lot of extra play in it. Any ideas? Bushing? Rack and Pinion going bad? Anyone else had this issue?

It could be a bunch of things, start by inspecting the steering wheel it may have come loose and is easily tightened, then inspect the rag joint in the steering shaft, those usually are the culprits.
