Hello,
I've been trying to sort out some steering issues on my latest acquisition, a '88 745 with a paltry 143k miles. I found a bad outer tie rod, and the control arm bushings were shot, probaly original. Replaced them all, both outer tie rods and control arm bushings. It feels better, but there is still a lot of play in the wheel while driving. I've wiggled everything around and can't find anything else that seems loose, sure am hoping I don't need a new rack, much rather change out the inner tie rods or ball joints.
Anyone have any ideas, or seen similar issues?

Thanks,
Chris
