Hi I have play in my tie rod ends area when rocking the driver side wheel in 3-9 o'clock direction. Like how you check wheel bearing. Not a huge amount but enough to notice. SO I replaced both the inner and outer tie rods, kind of help a bit but there is still play.
I can see the inner tie rod moving when the wheel is shake as the picture.
Next I tighten the rack guide to a point where the steering just about returns itself after a turn without making effort to turn it back. So it's probably max out.
Play is still there - not huge but I can feel it through the steering wheel on gravel road.
So my question is what is the next part of the rack that will cause this play after the inner tie rod?? The rack and pinion worn out? It's a 29 years old truck. Sorry picture turned 90 degree.
