Hello have a quick question about my inner tie rod end. Here's a video of the motion of it there is no play in and out but very easily moved in a rotation. Have conflicting advice from people one says that it shouldn't move at all without effort and the other says it's normal any thoughts?

From my experience it should require quite a bit of force to move by hand, was the steering loose and off center like you have a bad alignment, any clunks or pops when turning in place? I’d also take a look at the steering rack.

No signs of steering issues, my outer tie rods were shot the boot was completely gone on both sides which is why I had it disconnected. Getting an alignment for that on Friday I'll have them check the steering rack thanks!

Suspension 2005 GT Left (driver side) tire wobbles, most noticeable on right turns. With front end jacked, more free play on left than right.
