Dealership just called and said that's why I had play in my steering wheel and it needs replaced.
The price seems high. I just had mine rebuilt, parts/labor plus in and out was $850.
Mine was caused by lowering the car too much. In the early days I was enamored by the Penske coilover set up and would drop the car far enough to put strain on the rods ends....they can only tolerate so much angle reaching up from the rack to the spindle. I was at the angle limit for a while and strained the whole thing....made it sloppy.
If you're really slammed, this could be your problem. Nothing makes a Viper feel worse than sloppy/dead-spot steering, and nothing makes it feel better than a tight rack...
