This can be dangerous. I had to have mine (89 V6) fixed by getting the rack replaced--cost close to 750. The rack had too much play and could not be adjusted.
sigh, i figured.

WHOA! Granted, I worked at a parts store and got my parts at cost, but a R&P for an '85 Celica cost me $95; or $139.95 for anyone else! It was remanufactured. I had a frienk at a Meineke put it in (I don't have a lift, and I was going to be damned laying on my back on the ground) for $140. Granted, I got a deal, but shop around! Also, have a mechanic check the rack...mine was good, but we had a lot of defective returns on them.
Check CarQuest or NAPA.
