No, worn track bar is common in wranglers, gear box may be worn as well.
To check the track bar, need someone in the Jeep to start the engine and turn the steering wheel back and forth while another person watch the joint of the track bar that attached to the frame on the driver's side.
If the joint pops up and down, it's worn. while driving, you have to turn the steering wheel a lot more than you should before the car responses.
First Jeep,89 wrangler,changed steering stabilizer, new tie-rod.Is there always a lot of play in the wheel?
Check where the bolts mount the rack bec the bushings might be worn out, have someone turn the wheel as you watch for access play etc.
Hope that helps and best of luck.

Most likely is the track bar. Wear at the frame end is common and will cause these problems.
Also check for wear in the steering box. Check the bolts that hold the steering box to the frame while you are checking things.
