Good info guys. I am currently in the process of changing out my tie rod ends, and if that does not help, I was planning on putting in new bushings too.

I hope that the following is not considered a hijack, but I was also inspecting my rag bushing. I can grab the firewall side of my steering and easily flop it around. The dust seal is worn out too. I have read a number of posts that state that the rag bushing floppiness does not contribute to vague steering, but I find this nearly impossible to believe. Have you looked at yours ConcreteJungle?
