This is a pretty decent video of the job. I am thinking I need to do the same thing. However, when I checked for horizontal play, I was able to nose the wheel out (with some effort), until I heard a click. It then became rigid again. Anybody have thoughts on this?

I should also say, I first thought it was the struts. I think I may need to replace them anyway. Is it possibly a power steering issue?

I'm having a similar issue. It's on a 2000 Outback. I lifted each side independently to check for horizontal play in the wheels. The drivers side seemed ok, but I was able to move it slightly. The passenger side was something else. It wasn't so much back and forth play as I was able to nose the wheel out (possibly as much as 2 inches. I then heard a click, and it was solid like the driver's side. I am sort of hoping it's the inner tie rod end and not something more sinister.
