I took my steering column out last night to get to the ingnition switch. I took a punch and hammer and undid the bolts and removed the switch. After taking it apart I found that there is a plastic cklip inside that broke. I am trying to figure a way to fix this and keep it all original. Anyways. since I put the car back together I had always felt just a little play in the steering. I thought it might have been the rack internal or the rodd ends or something. I found out what it was. It is the entire rack moving back and forth about 1/8 inch in its clamps. The clamp bolts seem to be tight. Was there some sort of rubber or shim material that is supposed to be wrapped around the rack before it goes in the clamps?
