2001 Accord with 125K miles has center play in the steering (dead zone between steer right, steer left). I suspect tie rod ends but do I replace inner/outer or both. Note that I don’t notice any uneven tire wear. ---

you gotta crawl under this thing while someone turns the steering wheel and find out exactly where play is coming from. ---

I’m sure your problem is going to be in your rackandpinion system. Bad tie rod ends cause all kinds of other problem also, not just looseness.
