RE: [DML] Steering Rack Play Adjustment

Mike,

 

You can remove preload shims to remove a small amount of play in the
bearings but is common for the wear to necessitate reconditioning or
replacement.

Subject: [DML] Steering Rack Play Adjustment

 

My steering rack has developed an annoying amount of play
over the years. I took a look at it this afternoon and there
is no hint of play in the steering column u-joints. It's all in 
the rack. Is there an adjustment I can do to reduce the play 
or am I looking at a rack rebuild/replace?
