It's time to change them, they do have too much movement. Waiting for the new ones kit: Ultimate power steering bushings

No that's not the problem, few days ago at our yearly technical inspection, they showed me the play that they have, so i will change them before i fail at the next inspection ( they are like TüV in Germany, very strict inspections)

Exactly the reason why it needs to be changed, and the ULTIMATE kit will do the job.

Exposing my steering joint when pulling the driver side wheel and wheel well. showed a extreme need for lubrication.

Lack of lube would over time cause a fail to this joint.
