Yes, the steering gear is the bigest contributer to front end play. There should be no free play when the wheels are straight ahead. A small amount oftan can be adjusted out but generally an o-haul is needed. Also if the play is decreased when the wheels are turned off center to one side it means the steering is not in the center of the steering box. If your special drag link is adjustable you can center it with the adjustment otherwise an other method will be neede. If your drag link is adjustable I'd like to know were you got it. Your wheels may be out of balance setting up the wobble &/or the shocks bad.
