I have an 89' Bronco xlt with a 2 inch leveling kit on the front, 20 inch rims and 33 inch tires. My problem being that I have too much play in the steering wheel. Replaced the steering box, and the play is in the ball joint where the pitman arm meets the center link ball joint. I can grab and move the linkage components by hand. My question is how much play should there be in the ball joints, and how easily should it be to move them.

NONE ------ and should be real stiff to wiggle.
Put the front-end on jack stands & you'll really see some wiggle/play.

Yeah... moogs are what my front end mechanic recommended to me.
I put a cheap tie rod end on my windstar and two years later replaced it. The original lasted 12 years.
