If there is slop in the steering you should be able to feel that as free =
play in the wheel before the wheels start to turn. If there is no free =
play then any vibration in the steering wheel has to come from other =
sources such as wheel balance, possibly king-pin wear. Speed-related =
wheel wobble is wheel imbalance, rough surface noise and vibration at a =
wide range of speeds is play somewhere. I take it you mean replacement =
of track-rod ends rather than the track (or tie) rods themselves. Not =
unreasonable, but play in those is easy enough to determine, and with =
the quality of replacement parts these days I only replace something =
when I need to, replacements just don't last as long as the originals.
I only get 1 1/2 to 2 bounces on my MGBs, I don't know if MGAs were =
softer. Even 3 has got to be less that typical American cars of the =
era, from what I've read. Harder isn't necessarily better.

No, not so much the steering wheel, but I can feel the movement =
through the steering wheel: it kind of stutters, kind of like something =
has a gap or some rubber has broken down and allows some looseness.
