  if that is the only place you can feel slop replace it ,verses having them seperate later they are not expensive.

  If you remove the cotter pin at the top, you can take a big straight screwdriver and take some of the slope out, then put the pin back in.They are adjustable,and if it's already worn out give us a call we have the replacements in stock

  DO what Tommy said and adjust all your tie rod ends to take up the slop. I did that on my 304 and it made a huge difference. So far, I haven't needed to replace then, as I got the adjustment done before they had hammered themselves to oblivion.

  I apologize for taking so long to close the loop on this issue, but I did adjust the slop out of the ball joint as instructed by Tommy and it is now as good as new. Thanks Tommy for your help.
