    So I did some work this weekend, put in New uniballs in my Icon tubular UCAs. Also bought their aluminum dust covers and press tool. The press tool worked really well, just wish they were made of something stronger than aluminum for the pressing cups and such. This tightened my steering wheel up quite a bit since these had a fair amount of play. Need to check out the rack bushings and I found some play in a tie rod end. More work to come
