I don’t recall the rack in my Accord moving when I removed my inner rod ends, and I’m going to say that any movement in the rack will lead to wandering in the steering. See if you can get a helper to look over the rack while you are moving it, or to move the rack while you look it over. Sounds like there might be loose, or broken mounts, or perhaps there is some sort of rubber insulator between the rack and chasis that is worn out. I would definitely find the source of that movement, and correct it.
+1 to all. There should be an undetectable amount of play in the rack. When you say “play” do you mean turning play or in and out play?
Or are you referring to the rack it’s self moving relative to the firewall / chassis as you apply pressure to the inner rod end? The later is what I thought you were talking about, and would likely indicate a problem with the mounting bolts / bushings. Side to side movement, as long as the steering wheel, and other tire are moving at the same time, I don’t think is a problem.
Got it off. Here is how I did it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpnhyJXSLu8
