Mustang II Power Rack & Pinion movement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Knowing how may folks here have a mustang II front end in there truck, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? When I crank the steering wheel with the truck not running, the Rack has enough side play that the steering shaft u-joint rubs on the Heidts cross member. Perhaps the bushing are just old (15-18 years) and need to be replaced? I ended up making a cutout in the cross member for clearance. What free play (if any) is normal?
