Hello all,----I recently looked at a friends 67 Sprite and was alarmed to  
see how much fore and aft play there was in the steering shaft. Pulling on the  
steering wheel got about 1/4 or more in and out movement. All the movement is 
at  the rack. Nothing appears to be missing. Could it be that the pinion is so 
worn  and chewed up that it allows for this much movement. Turning the 
steering wheel  left/right shows more play than I have seen before. Any 
thoughts?  I 
 suggested a tear down to check it out. Bob C
