Jack the car up.. Then Grab a wheel at 3 and 9 o clock .. then yank hard on it in both directions.
A loose tie rod end, either inner OR outer will be immediately evident.
The two steering rack bushings are thiniswh rubber and don't give much if any play unless utterly destroyed. Try watching them carefully while someone else rocks the steering wheel a half turn side to side aggrssively.
No point removing the rack for nothing :-)
Pickle forks destroy tie rod end and or ball joints.
Use only on Items you have new parts in hand for.
