As you can see the tie rod ends and drag links have seen better days, the boots have been compromised and most of them have some play.
This is the passenger side, the tie rod coupler is slightly bent and the tie rod end has play.
You can just barely see the bend from this angle, it is much more apparent when looking straight down the tie rod.
Excuse the rust and paint haze, here you can see the tie rod removed, the front of the axle cleaned up. You can even see a bit of uneven wear on the tire from the bent tie rod coupler.
Driver's side, I don't have the parts to replace the drag link yet.
Stay tuned.
