Default Rugged Ridge HD steering play

i just picked up a 99 xj with a rugged ridge HD system on it. the PO said he "rebuilt" the front end not too long ago with the kit. My question is, is there supose to be THAT much movement in the tie rod ends? going down the road the jeep has a severe wobble/shake and theres all kinda of popping in the font end durring low speed turns. sorry for the quality of the video. it was taken on my phone.

Judging by the video the HD system looks fine they should have rotation but not lateral play or slop. I would check out this article on death wobble

or call RR tech dept if you have any questions about the product. Email me with any questions: webmaster@omix-ada.com
