If I'm honest, I'm not 100% sure that tightening the steering rack will solve my issue. I currently experience some intermittent play in the steering wheel. Sometimes it feels tight, other times, it's loose. And by loose, I mean I can turn the wheel about 10 degrees left and right and yet the wheels on the ground don't move.
At this point, I'm just going through and eliminating things it could be. I recently had to replace an axle, so I did both. While I was there, I replaced my outer tie rods. I checked the steering column when I get the loose feel, the entire column turns with the steering wheel. The u-bolt on the column is tight too. Also checked the ball-joints - they all seem to be tight. Pretty sure this is the last thing that it could be. If this doesn't fix it, I'll probably just replace the steering rack.
Edit: I don't hear any clunking sounds.
