[Shotimes] Re: Shimmy(Slop/play)

[Johnsho92]

Actually, it the tie-rods seems fine, it's in the
sterring mechanism somewhere.   Hard to describe, I
beleive it's within the gearing of the Rack&pinion,
but there should be no play, once the steering wheel
is locked, how tight should the lock be?   As far as
tie-rods, I have ruled that out for now.  As for
theplay I have felt, it's not the mounting or
bushings, it's within the gears somewhere.  Is that
normal?  

Thanks. :)
