When rocking the steering there is usually some noise from a steering system that has a few miles on it especially from the majority of power steering types as not only is the rack slipper bearing likely to make noise but also the hydraulic spool valve and possibly even the rack end bush.
Sometimes the clunking noises can be worrying they are so loud.
If there are steering stops on the lower arms and hubs the noise can be very loud on full lock and a moving vehicle.
There might be track rod problems but there is no point guessing - the car has to be inspected, jacked up and the wheels shook to check for wear and free play and on the ground the steering wheel has to rocked while the steering gear is inspected.
If inspection finds nothing the noise is clearly caused by "acceptable" wear...

Hi, usually steeing wheels don't come loose. The steering colomn is probably just worn out an needs replaced. If it is just loose you need to unhook the battery and pull out the screws on the back of the steering wheel that will let yu remove the airbag and once that is out of the way you can see the nut in the center of the steering wheel and just tighten it back up and put everything back together.
Actually tilt wheels can come loose, do the same as above but instead of tightening the center nut undo it then with a steering wheel puller, take wheel off, take out signal switch, now the tricky part theres 3 torx screws which attach the top half of the column to the tilt knockel. Can only tighten 1 or 2 sometimes but it works.

Power steering pump bad or low on fluid, maybe need new belt and belt tensioner.
