Need steering rack recommendations

Misha, I have done this to bleed the system.

My question remains... How do I test to see that the steering U joint is the issue NOT the rack?

Ok,just wanted to be sure because a lot of people don't know how to properly bleed steering system.

hi PresseR, you have to jack up the front of the car so the steering gear is not under load. Disconnect the u-joint/coupling and check it for binding. It should be loose to firm, if it's tight or binding it's junk. They do go bad, not too hard to change.
