Reply to "Steering Rack Play"

I have returned from yanking.

My scientific study concludes that the movement is within the interior rod end on both sides.
It is not the tube that is moving.

The movement occurs when pulling on the hub assembly, not pushing it. At that point the inner rod end moves down maybe .100".

The movement is about equal on both sides of the car.

I would have to deem this as about normal.

How does the inner tie rod end get grease? Do I have to use a needle tip on the grease gun?

Both joints are "wet" inside of the boot. They look like they have oiled previously rather then greased.

Maybe I could tighten the inner socket a little?

There is no hex nut on it. How do you remove the retaining "washer" or tighten it?
