Common problem on my 9000s

The bolt that holds the steering shaft to the rack loosens up. It's happened on every 9000 that I've owned.
Right where the steering shaft goes through the floor board is a large rubber bellows. Pop that out and peel it back and you'll see the bottom u-joint.
The nut, as I recall, is 14mm. Tighten it up and the play will be no more.
