2000 Tacoma Steering Loose

My 2000 steering is really sloppy. The tie rods are in good shape but i was wondering how loose the bushing should be on the rack itself. It has a bit of slop but the driver side shaft actually moves a bit up and down when you steer back and forth. Should I rebuild the seals and do a bushing kit? Or, is the slop in that shaft make the whole rack bad. Check out the video and please help.

Cheers!

Look into changing the rack guide also.

Last time I read something about sloppy steering the guy's next post was about ball joint failure. It was a 3rd gen 4Runner though. Should he check those, too?

Ball joints are good. Anyone know what the rack guide is?
