Real Fiero Tech

tracking down a pop on my front end led me to finding that the input shaft on my steering rack moves in and out nearly a fully inch as the steering wheel is turned. This steering rack was a rebuild unit that came with the car, I think its a FieroStore item.

What do I need to replace to get rid of that play, and how do I do it properly without screwing up the rack?

No one on Old Europe seems to know about this at all either, and I find no mention of wear items that would cause this problem.

Gonna have to just find a spare one to crack open it looks like.
