Steering rack

[LT <llst@telus.net>]

I have put the rack back into my MK2 and noticed that when I stroke it
from one end to the other by pushing/pulling on one of the rotors, there
appears to be a flat spot in the center. The steering wheel is yet tobe
installed. Is this normal or do I have some wear that I should be
concerned with? I checked the Bentley manual but it seems to be more of
a disassembly/reassembly manual without any troubleshooting info.
