Steering Rack Rebuild?

[john donohoe <gt6driver@yahoo.com>]

Hello list!

with the rack off the car, there is a distinct click, click, click,
when I push or pull the ends back and forth. Not really a sound, but a
rachety feel.

Anyone know if this is normal? Or should it glide smoothly back and
forth?

Thanks,
