When driving on smooth roads there is no issue but when on rougher roads there is a lot of feedback through the steering wheel, any ideas?

Yeah just a combination of things.

Like what Tom said, steering rack bushes for sure.

The steering column too has a flex disk / universals that can get a bit stiff and transmit more vibration.

Otherwise your general suspension parts up front like upper and lower control arms can contribute to such. Worn ball joints and bushes.

Start with the steering rack bushes and side grommet and go from there :-)

I had issue of steering wheel changing its center position with each turn. If I turned the steering wheel a little bit the wheels wouldn't move because the steering rack had a lot of play in it. Bushings were totally destroyed. Only helped with the feedback that I get from rough roads a bit. I no longer have unresponsive steering and wheel doesn't move off center position with each turn. It still feels sloppy and gets a lot of road feedback on the bumpy roads.

I also get this is horrible squeaking noise when braking and sometimes turning while going up a hill (not the brakes). I did grease the sway bar bush and it seemed to get better but just came back again
