[DML] Rack & Pinion problems

["cupsdmc" <cupsdmc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed a clunking noise after unloading my car off my trailer from 
Pheasant Run.  I finally got around to checking on it today and the 
right front wheel had some slop in it.  I took off the wheel and 
noticed the slop is inside the boot(passanger side) on the rack and 
pinion steering.  I slid the boot off and a bunch of plastic crumbs 
came falling out.  It looks like it may have been a bushing in the end 
of the steering unit. I haven't been able to find a part on any of the 
vendors sites.  Do I need to replace my whole rack and pinion unit or 
can I simply replace the bushing.  Any suggestions would help as I have 
a show on the 4th of July and also the parade.  If I ran it a few miles 
without this bushing, would this be unsafe or cause any major damage?
