My steering rack has developed a knocking noise from the pinion housing assembly. When the car is jacked up and you rotate the rack you can feel the knocking noise through the assembly. I believe this is due to excessive play in the housins assembly. I read someware that you can take off the end cover and remove shims to adjust any excess play is this so ?

Go and get an exchange rack....unless you really know what you are doing it just ain't worth the possibility of losing your steering :idea:
