Default I recently replaced the rack.

What do you mean my "rattle" the steering wheel? I would do a pump rebuild first. I'm wishing I had, as I'm stilling having steering issues.

How about adjusting the preload to see if it helps?

Default Don't know who came up with this idea.

But you should seriously never touch that bolt on your rack, as you run a much higher risk of damaging the components than helping anything.

Unless something is wrong, right? I mean it's there for some reason, maybe wear?
