yeah pretty sure. The arms of the rack move in and out to the INSIDE of where the tie rods connect! I can see this from the inside of the rack boots because they're torn. I don't know what else to make of it because even though the PS fluid was low following my basting-and-replacing with synth ATF, it is full now and the problem persists. I simply just know know where I would find looseness in the inner tie rods, they're just pieces of metal. Their inner ball joints where they connect to the rack are completely immobile when I push the wheel back and forth....it's all coming from the rack, which even rattles the lower U-joint on the steering column.
