You will get play at full lock because of the angles in the drag link.

Check the drop arm is tight and the balljoints are all good, the panhard rod bushes and steerinh column UJs.

Get someone to wiggle the steering whilst you look underneath, something somewhere is loose or worn, it's possible it is made worse when the front end gets lighter ie towing.
