The play is noticeable when the wheels are off the ground and I turn the  
steering wheel side-to-side or when the wheels are off the ground and I grab 
a  wheel and move it left or right.  The play (subtle, muffled click) is  
coming from the rack & pinion area.  
 
If these are rebuildable, where does one buy a rebuild kit?
 
Another thing I wondered about....years ago I owned a 1966 Chevy  Corvair.  
As the steering box got "sloppy", I was able to tighten the lash  at the 
box with an adjustment screw/bolt......of course that wasn't rack &  pinion 
but does the TR rack have an adjustment capability to tighten lash?

Is the  play mostly when driving straight?
