They are tight.
Way back in the day we had a 63 econoline van, it had a solid front axle. The tierod ends were VERY warn. While driving it on the fwy if you hit a bump at just the right angle the she from end would shimmy and shake, a firm press on the brake and it would stop.
That's king of what it feels like.
The best description is that it feels like the driver's side front is rising and falling in a shimmy, or wiggle
