Slop in the steering wheel is not normal, but can usually be fixed by something as simple as tightening the bolt where the steering hub attaches to the steering column.
Drew, that is usually where you’d find that play. If the tie rod ends are worn, it could be a good opportunity to rebuild that stuff with new rod ends and get familiar with doing a proper alignment. I can help you with that if we got out to test.
Congrats if the deal is done.
