Default HELP! Steering problem!

I've got a lot of play in my steering from right to left. Meaning, when I turn the steering wheel, the wheels don't immeadiatley move right/left and I have turn the steering wheel further than I should normally. Is this a rack problem, bushing problem, or what? I have to hold the wheel either to the left, or to the right to drive straight depending on the road. Thanks a lot!

Phi Nupe it sounds like the bushings in the rack going bad... Have your rack inspected ASAP!!! You may want to post this in the general SC forum as well to get a few more hits..
