    there are a couple of different sizes if i am not mistaken, they will either be a 26mm kit or a 27mm. the only way to tell is to use a mic.

    slop and movement in the steering rack. with my truck parked....you could turn the steering wheel back and forth,and the whole damn rack would move 2 inches to each side. the factory bushings were shot!
