my car when I got it, had play in the rack ( bronze bush) and also the steering column itself.
As I live in the land where Pantera's are not common I had bushes made for both, and now it is all fine, Also check the steering intermediate shaft, as mine was binding on the uni ! made it even worse !
The amazing this was the previous owner said it drove fine !
