I have a 1983 Westphalia with a manual (not power) steering rack. There's a lot of play on the passenger side, and the play is coming from a point just inside the rack itself, where the passenger side tie rod goes into the steering rack body. I can grab the tie rod and move it up and down right at the point where it disappears into the steering rack body. The tie rod end itself is fine, no play, and easy to replace if it does go bad. It doesn't look like it woud be hard to rebuilt if I could find the part(s). And some instructions also. Has anyone tried this, could someone direct me to instructions? I know it's not that hard to find information and parts for the power steering racks, but the manual ones seem to be in a different category. John
