Default 1990 bravo 1 side to side play, bad gimbal ring?

I can supply a video to show but there’s a 3” play on each side when I wiggle the outdrive. The shaft pin is good, no vertical movement on the outdrive. The steering arm doesn’t move. Should I go ahead and buy a new transom assembly because of a bad gimbal ring. Part is on back order, need to place an order ASAP if the gimbal is worn.

Mine was way worse than that. I did the JR marine method of removing the steering pin and found my gimbal ring was wore out
