I came into my brother's shop and put my car up on his lift. I'm getting wheel play on my steering wheel and were trying to find out what it was. I checked,
1. Worn tie rod ends. Inner or outer.
2. Rag joint or slip joint in steering shaft.
3. Steering rack&pinion
Everything seemed to be fine but I did find one thing. Some kind of bolt is missing and you will see from the pictures below:

I don't know what that missing part is called. Also do you think it may have to deal with the wheel play that I'm getting?

Off topic I know, but is that a serious question? Do you work on cars every day? You're hands get disgusting so fast and stay that way. You have better feel without them but I always try to work with a pair on.

You might as well buy two and replace both.
That car is rusty as hell, and I'd just replace both. Do things right the first time, and hopefully you won't have to worry about it again.
