Steering wheel play



Hey everyone,

I've gotten settled down here in the Bay Area after my move from 
Arizona and I've got a question to run by you all (searches in the 
archive were inconclusive).

I just had my steering rack replaced. It was confirmed to be bad, as 
it was leaking, and there was a definite improvement in the 
handling, but there's still a lot of play in the wheel when you turn 
it left and right (it's not the column, but the wheel itself--my 
column bushing is relatively new). I did the tie rod ends while the 
rack was being done, but something still isn't right in there. It's 
not tight, and over a nasty bump there's a slight loss of control 
(those of you who've experienced this know what I mean).

I know how the car should handle, as I've driven a tight-steering D. 
Is there something I'm missing? Oh, and the mechanic seemed to think 
the u-joints were okay.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan McCaffrey
