The last time I had my steering rack apart looking for the reason there was so much slop I too noticed that my metal sleeves were loose when inserted in their pockets. So, when I was re-assembleling I gave each sleeve a slight coating of shoe goo prior to inserting back in their locations. I let it dry overnight before installing back in the chassis and it was amazing how much less slop existed. Have run one night of racing and still no slop in that area.
