    sac13 Come oooonnnnn summer....

    I was mounting my new TSLs R) on the front of the Jeep (the rear is still tore apart:cry: ) and I noticed a little 'play' in the tie rod ends. How much is acceptable or should they be nice and tight (no movement)?

    If you can notice/feel the play my opinion is it is to much a little play can lead to alot of play quick once it starts.

    X2. You should be able to *just* feel a little play in the wheel bearings, but none in the steering.
