[QUOTE=Lesterrobertson;96857]I had the same issue. It ended up being the bushings for the rack and pinion itself that connect to the front cross member. They are hard to find, but I took them out, measured them, and ordered some poly bushings the same size. They actually come in two pieces per side. (they are halved) Took out all the play. Cost me $26.[/QUOT

I got the car this week, so new member: beautiful and responsive but the steering sucks, same symptoms. Going to try the bushing fix. Will report back
