How much wiggle should the tie rod and drag link bar have if you pull on them with the jeep sitting on it's wheels? Not jacked up or anything. I am having front to back movement, is this normal or a sign of wear?

 

it's normal for them to twist/rotate around the ball under the rubber boot, but no up/down or side to side play.

have someone shake the steering wheel back and forth while you're under the front looking for any said play.

 

So if I lay under the front end, I can move both those bars front to back. I can't move them up and down, or left to right. Is that front to back movement normal? It moves about 1/2" or so.
