Re: Coupe GT Steering Linkage

[audistuff@juno.com (Paul R Anderson)]

Your rack and pinion may be adjustable.  If so, you  can tighten it up. 
I would
say that if the rack is not leaking fluid, it's probably not bad.  The
other option is
tie rod ends (inner or outer).  Check them first.
None of these fixes should cost $400
