The steering is quite loose. Appears to me that the front axle has a lot of forward-and-back movement under the influence of the drag link. None of the joints seem loose or broken.
I see there is a bushing in the center pivot that might be worn (90387-123X7-00). Is this likely to be the problem? That bushing is not available but it looks like something that would not be hard to make on a lathe.
It does sound like the center pivot bushing could be contributing to the excessive play, especially if you've already ruled out the tie rod ends and other steering joints. I'd also inspect the axle pivot pin and mounting holes for wear before machining a replacement bushing.
