Hi luvbowties, yes the rod definitely seems too small on the outer tie rod since it wiggles around in the spindle (hence the "play" I'm getting).

And thanks for the informative "next steps" for removal - very helpful. I don't have an impact wrench (but now may have a reason to get one), so I might need to try the pickle-fork technique.

Pictures to come soon.
