Inner TIe Rod Replaced

[blakedanatural]

Hello All,
My car failed inspection( Pennsylvania) due to a bad driver side inner tie rod. I went and replaced the inner and the outer tie rod and passed the inspection. My 2015 Gt premium has 121000 miles on and my steering wheel has slight play. Should I have replaced both passenger and driver side inner and outer tie rods? The dealer did a alignment when I went back for the inspection. With the car at a standstill and not running I can move the steering wheel back and forth a inch both ways before I feel resistance. Anticipating help from you guys. I started to take the steering wheel off to see if the bolt was loose.
Thank everyone in advance.
Blake

You may have some play in the steering rack itself.

Thank you and protocol how to check the rack without going to the dealer 1st?
