I believe i read that there is a rubber piece that gets worn out somewhere between the firewall and the back of the rack. Just wanted to make sure that im kinda on the ball as far as those things being wrong. If it is these things then i will replace them immediately. Thanks in advance. Mike
Thx for the suggestion. I just purchased a 02 collector edition convertible with 44000 miles. Steering had slack in wheel. Checked pinch bolt on u-jolt connected to rack&pinion. Used 11mm wrench tightened all I could. Problem solved. Thx again Les
