Pitman arm and idler arm movement

[Pstyckiewicz]

I notice while driving that there seems to be some play/wondering in the steering. I jacked it up and started moving/pulling things. I noticed some play in the idler arm and a small amount of movement on the pitman arm at the ball joint.

pictures of movement attached

Need to do it on the ground.. Have someone move steering wheel while you look for play under vehicle. Wear eye protection and maybe some ear plugs Yes vehicle running..

PS.... In park or neutral with parking brake
