tite steering

while changing worn steering parts, I had the pitman arm and idler arm disconnected. My old worn out elderly arms, and the son in laws young healthy arms, had difficulty grabbing the tires and pushing and pulling from right to left turn. Reminds me of really rusty kingpins. How do I track this down to a specific part, guessing ball joint.
Might want to mention this is my 97 gran marq, and front end still appears a little loose at windy freeway speeds, even though no backlash is apparent in city driving at 45.
