Ok I need some advice, ever since I bought my SDL it has had a lot of steering play. Over the last month I noticed it getting a lot worse. So after a little checking and pulling I found that my outside tie rod end on the drivers side had a lot of play in it, the passengers side didn't have much. So I ordered two new tie rods and replaced them on Friday, this helped a lot but their is still a lot of play. With the passengers side wheel off of the ground I can still feel some movement but I can't tell exactly where it is coming from. I was wondering if I should replace the center link? Do these ever go bad? I also have an idler arm rebuild kit, Sunday I will do that. I also repleced the steering damper back in July.

Now I know my steering box has a lot of play in it, adjusting it doesn't seem to help. But I have a better box from my 420 parts car. It has 174k on it and a lot less play, I bought a re-seal kit and will clean it up next week and install it. I would like a rebuilt gear box but don't have the money now, maybe next year.

Any other sudjestions? Do the pitman arms go bad? My center link seems ok, but it is original. I would like to get as much play out of the system as possible, next summer when I replace the box I'm hoping to have no play.

Btw the suspension is very tight and in very good shape for 240k miles, I am in no rush to do a front end re-build. Maybe in a few years, but everything is still very tight, except the shocks their all leaking like crazy.
