STEERING RACK PLAY-ADJUSTMENT?
 

With my '99 GT front end up on stands I can grab a wheel and move it back and forth about 2/3-3/4 inches, maybe a touch more. Is the rack shot or is there a steering gear adjustment as my Haynes manual speaks of but does not describe? Ever since I had an alignment the front end has felt sloppy. One inner tir rod end is leaking a bity but mechanic said not enough to bother with. Anyone experience this? THX!
