so I definitely have some play in my steering and I already replaced the steering shaft with u joints. When I play with the free play in the wheel the entire shaft turns back-and-forth all the way to the rack and pinion. During that time the tire rods are not budging if I give it a little more effort pass the FreePlay then the tie rods start moving. So I know it’s the rack and pinion having play. Is there a way to tighten up that little play in the rack? I found the screw or bolt that loosens and Toghtens but it has a plastic cap. I posted a photo if I turn to tighten that cap will it tighten my steering? I have nearly 200,000 miles.. posting a picture![93BB90B9-806A-4A10-8AE0-42152F8BB817.jpeg 93BB90B9-806A-4A10-8AE0-42152F8BB817.jpeg](https://www.expeditionforum.com/data/attachments/74/74423-e4fd630081953c5dc4e361caa03037ee.jpg)
