After you adjust the steering gear, jack up the front to get the wheels off the ground. Grab the tires one hand on each side & push & pull on the wheel both vetically & horizontally. There should be no free play in the linkage. A small amount in the kingpins is acceptable. Get underneath & grab the tie rod near the ends & pull up & down. There should be no play in either one. Same goes for the drag link. If you do a search you may find ways to check the toe-in. If you can't do it yourself have an alignment shop do it. Nothing effects tie wear & handling like proper toe-in
