How can I tell if inner tie rod ends are bad? 200 1990

My '89 has 219,000 on it. The ONLY front end part (steering or otherwise) that has been replaced is the RH outer tie rod end.

The suggestion offered about removing the boot is good, but I usually remove the outer from the spindle (replacing it anyway) and chack for ANY play in and out from the inner joint.

I have not yet come accross one that was worn on a 240, but I'd imagine with leaking or torn boots it's not only possible but likely.
