g300d is on a distinguished road
We checked the lower steering area while the truck was on stands for a diffs/transfer case fluid change.

Got to see the green plastic rings. 1 is visible in the engine bay above the steering joint, another in the car above the brake pedal.

Both looked good and tight, and we tried shaking the lower shaft and there was no play in the rings, so I will not be doing those at this time.

We checked the steering joint again as everyone has been suggesting and y'all were right, we found some play there.
