(update) steering rack problem....

[richd]

I agree with canukracer except I say replace the whole rack anyway, easier than doing the inners. That loose tie rod has been beating away at the rack, no sense keeping it if it's probably going to go bad later anyway.

From NAPA Online you can get a reman. rack with tie rods and inner rod ends for about $87. Add another $30 for outers and your set.

I went almost all out when I did mine and got a PS pump and aluminum bushings from Maximum Motorsports. I kept the hoses (should have replaced them) and already had relatively new outers so I didn't bother with them.

Good luck,
