Play in tie rod?

[SlidewayzS14]

I just changed my inner tie rod and i bolted everything back together, however there is a bit of play in the tie rod. I'm pretty sure this is just because they are ball joints and my other side does it, however, i just wanna make sure before i start driving and end up breaking something i dont have the money to fix?

ball joints shouldn't move. there will be just a little play in the rack though.

Did you change your outer tie rod while you were at it?

check FSM on how you test ball joints for play.
Than see if its in spec.
