Steering Rack Probs

[coxxy]

I had a feeling there was something up with my steering over the past few days so i had a look today to find that both drivers side and passenger side have play in the rack. Not 100% sure if its the tie rods. Ive also read on here about steering rack bushes and a adjuster that should stop play. I know tie rods can be a nightmare to change. Are the bushes easy to get to and replace? What does the adjuster do to the rack? Cheers

You realy need to get the car checked see whats wrong it might just be worn track rod ends.

inner tie rods more than likely + possible TRE's, the bushes on the rack are rare failures
