Tire play left to right
Just changed the oil and while I had the front end off the ground I went ahead and moved the tires up and down left and right to check for play because I been experienceing a noise like the tire moving when going slow and the car pulls to the right but has a good alignment and tires were just rotated to make sure it was a tire pulling. Also the steering feels sloppy like if you hit a bump it will feel very sloppy for a moment. Anyways with those symtoms while I just checked it the wheel was firm if held at 12 and 6 and moved up and down but if held at 9 and 3 it had play and moved a little then locked up. The other side was the same way. When looking under the car the only parts moving were the tie rods. Also just got new inner tie rods about a year ago. Because the tire shop said I needed them.
What do the symtoms lead to being wrong with my car? Is there a definitive for sure thing that needs fixed?

It's an 04 ralliart
And probably around 5000 on the inner tie rods would be a good guesstimate
And if you move one wheel left and right the other one moves to but it also locks up after a few inches

Could be an axle too....have you checked the CV Boot?
Sorry, was on my phone earlier when I initially posted and didn't know what kind of Lancer you had...I assumed it was an Evo.

OK so does the one wheel (the one that has side to side movement) move at all BEFORE turning the other wheel? And what do you mean by a few inches...does both wheels lock up after a few inches or just the one that moves then it locks up with the other wheel?
