Got rid of most of the oil coating the underside of the engine bay/ subframe. Grabbed some of these newer looking suspension parts and yanked em, no play. However the car is on ramps so the front suspension is loaded. Not sure how else to test them but the various bushings seemed intact.

You will need the car's suspension unloaded to test for play in suspension components. Only severe issues with be detectable with the full load of the car. Do you have jackstands?
