Flunk inspection/took my steering rack apart

[johndmc57@xxxx]

I went for an inspection, did not pass because the mechanics said my 
steering rack had a bad bushing and too much play in it. I questioned 
their opinion and took my steering rack apart. I mean really apart 
(everything). Suprise, there are no bushings in the steering rack. 
Tommorrow I am going to take it to the inspection station and show 
these guys there are no bushings in the rack. My question is, would 
lack of oil cause play in the rack, mine was almost dry, and what 
would you put in for oil after I fix any leak.
