i got a 91 lx 5.0, my steering in the front has alot of play in it, i put both sides of the front on jackstands and started turning it, i dont see anything loose but on the passanger side tie rod, the rod can easily be moved when u turn it but both wheels are solid when u rock them side to side and up and down, what else should i check or is the tie rod bad?

 

New tie rods time. Also, your steering gear could be getting old and worn out

 

Mine did that last year...I installed a Maximum Motorsports Steering Shaft and that tightened it right up....

Solid Steering Shaft Assembly, power steering, 1979-93 Mustang

You can sharpen your Mustang’s steering response with this solid steering shaft assembly. With your stock steering shaft, motion is lost due to the flexing of the rubber rag-joint. This flexing usually feels like play in the steering wheel (you can move the steering wheel without the car changing direction). The factory joints are replaced with race-quality needle-bearing U-joints, resulting in a dramatic improvement in steering response.
