List, I have had somewhat sloppy steering for the last two years now, and I want to let everyone on the list know what can be done to fix it. I replaced the following: 1. Steering rack (Grady rebuilt) 2. intermediate shaft with ball bearing U joints from Darryl Tinnerstedt 3. tie rod ends 4. all four tires with Michelin Pilots 5. rack mounts and bushings I got it finished this weekend but i was disappointed to find some slop still in the steering system. not a lot, but not as clean and tight as i hoped it would be. today with the help of a friend i found that the U-joints were rotating on the splines an unacceptable amount, causing extra play at each U-joint until it all added up at the steering wheel. I tightened the allen head lock screws as tight as i could without stripping them and now I am pleased to say that the front end of my car feels brand new and every bit as smooth as my Lexus daily driver. I never thought this car would clean up as well as it has. If anyone out there is looking into rebuilding their steering, the route i went was not cheap but was definitely worth it. See you in Pigeon Forge!
