Play in steering rack

[M K]

Can any of you cosworth owners confirm if you have play in your steering rack?

Sitting stationary with car/power steering off, the steering wheel will turn about 3" each way loosely, so play in the rack, is this the norm? The rack was bought fully reconditioned from a proper firm so should be ok but I have never had 1 to compare, all the steering knuckle joints and splines are tightened and ok, just appears to be play in the rack/pinion part

Thanks

Yes Marc

But once the car is running it's gone

Bump this up again,

The play is still there it seems even with car/power steering running!

Who did you buy the recon off Marc? There's one specific firm that do them for around £160 and they take your old one off you too. They all eventually wear, but as a newly refurbed one not so much

It was soo long ago I can't remember lol

Useless

No slop in mine. 42k on the clock. 3" free play sounds all wrong.
