Finally got the rack straight, fits the housing and bushing ok. With the pinion and original shims\spacers in place the rack seems a bit notchy by hand. If I add more shims to lessen the force on the concave bushing, I can get a smoother operation.My question now is how much play should there be(cw\ccw)in the rack or where the gears meet.? Is there a spec for this? How tight is too tight, or vice versa.I just want to be sure I dont sacrifice smoothness for saftey.
