Looking for opinions on MM Solid Steering Rack & Aluminum Steering Rack Bushings. I want to tighten up my steering wheel and get rid of some play. Will these eliminate it?

Check the inner and outer tie rods for play. Also check the condition of the steering shaft as well.

The MM steering rack bushings are an excellent upgrade. Another decent upgrade is non-offset urethane bushings.

Last time I was at home, I did some investigating. It seems to be play in the rag joints under the column and near the firewall but I can't be 100% sure.
