Message Per my last post there is some free play in my steering and the car
sways badly on sudden stops and changing lanes. Finally got under car
for a closer inspection using some things I found in search....but still not
certain if it is the rack. I changed out sway bar bushings, new adjustable
tension rods, and new tie rods. BTW I also have adjustable camber and
the rack bushings appear to be in great shape. With car off and steering
in lock position there is still free play in the steering. I also notice there
is some type of hard plastic covering or coupling that is dry rotted and
crumbling where the steering rod meets the rack gear box. Also with car
in the air and still in the lock position I can easily move the wheels back
and forth which seems weird. Does this sound like the rack is shot? Or
am I overlooking something? Any suggestions/advice appreciated.
