Hi mate i re-con and build steering racks ,drive shafts and propshafts for a living!
If you want me to re-con or have a look no problem.
The top mounts can go and make clicking noises, i have done a pair on my old sri.
They are lots of moving parts in side the rack and you may not need a full re-con or a new rack.
just do whats called a manul adjust ment for around £55!
also when you jack the car up to have a look for play, some times this isn't the best way to check moving parts! because as you lift the car up the wheel drops down and all the moving parts ie ball joints, c.v joint, rack, shocks e.t.c. . move into a place that thay dont normaly ''work'' in. the best way would be to put it on a four poster ramp. also you will need the engine runinig. other wise you will hear a banging noise from the rack.
if you want a chat about call me on 01639 646922 ask for richard.
