On the 205GTi which used an almost identical setup, the major cause of floppiness was the bolt that secures Item 5 to the subframe coming loose and wobbling all over the place. Play in the clevis and its bushes under the gearstick will cause a bit of vaugeness too. Nothing else seems to wear much, even the rubber ball...
