    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know what the legal play tolerances are on a 300zx steering rack??

    Cheers

    Zero according to the service manual for the ball joints. Not sure on the uni joint, but it would be quite small.

    If you have a lot of play get it fixed quick, better that having a horrible, horrible accident...

    The actual rack or the inner tie rods? I've never heard of a Zed rack actuall flogging out, it's normally the inner joints.
