The steering in my UZZ31 seems to be very sloppy, when driving straight you need to turn the steering wheel around an 1/4 of a turn either way to keep the thing straight. I has been suggested that the could be the rack needs replacing but there are no knocks or strange noises its just hard to keep straight and to get around a corner takes a lot more turning than usual.
Any ideas?

I was thinking it may be the rack bushes but it does seem like a lot of play, not sure if the bushes could have such a dramatic effect.
