Sloppy steering
My '94 is kinda sloppy in the steering, if I were to go down the road and move the wheel from side to side, it feels like I'm on a waterbed. I've replaced the shocks, it's tightened it up a bit, what other possibilities could it be? (Stabilizer rod?)... And how do I inspect whether or not each part is in fact bad (...hate to replace perfectly good parts). Thanks.

I just had the same problem with my 89 runner and i had to replace upper and lower ball joints as well as tie rods. I also had a broken sway bar link. once everthing was fixed it handled great again. I have also been told it could be control arm bushings are shot.

Jack the front end up on stands and grab hold of the idler arm. Move it up and down perpendicular to the steering linkage. If it's all wobbly, it's bad.
