at 260,000 punishing miles including a few minor accidents I think the
rack has a right to start exhibiting a little slop (axial play,
actually, allowing tie rods to lift/drop, it's probably 20 degrees by
now) and demand replacement.  I suspect a $150-200 new or rebuilt part
would be a better investment than the labor of removing a 130k mile used
one I have that has no play... considering that it is cold out and the
donor vehicle isn't even on blocks yet!
