Finally got the car up off the ground - one side. Wheel moves a good amount side to side (when moving it with my hands at 3 and 9) but nothing top to bottom. Onward with the diagnosis... but pretty sure it's the tie rods.

Also - did determine the car does have camber plates - Mode Inc. which add 1 degree. I'm used to seeing adjustable camber plates and didn't think the car had them.

Definitely the inner tie rods. That's where the movement is coming from. Ends's are worn too but not to the point of play.

The control arms appear all to be in good shape with no play in the ball joints and according to the book I got with the car - were put on in December of 2012 and only run twice at HPDE's before I bought the car.

Looking at the angle of the tie rods I don't think raising the steering rack an inch would be the way to go. So at this point - I think I'll opt for the adjustable tie rod ends from Stromski and new inners and go from there to deal with bump steer.
