Message	Car is in the air - I grab the front left wheel and pull it towards me and there is significant play in the toe direction. This is only on the driver's side front wheel. Basically, the wheel can move as if the steering wheel is turning - except it's independent of the steering rack moving. If I pull harder, I can (of course) get the rack to move, but this motion is happening before the rack moves. Whenever I accelerate, the car pulls left about a degree, and when I let off, it pulls to the right about a degree. I checked my steering rack bushings and they look fine to me, and I tried shaking the steering rack and it didn't budge. Plus, there's vibration above 80-90 mph, and it keeps getting worse as speed increases. I'm thinking this might be related.
