The FSM indicates 25mm acceptable play..I'm fairly certain I've got way more than that. I can pretty much (with the motion of the wrist) move the wheel back and forth and the car is slow to respond...

Maybe its time to reseal/rebuild the steering box? Its got 224k on it now.
Maybe drag/center link?
I think a steering box rebuild like you said would be the most rewarding.
