Hi
I just want to point out that If there's free-play in the wheel (side to side) and you're absolutely sure that it's not the tie-rod end ball joint, then it will be a worn inner tie-rod end (inside the rack) and changing the gaskets won't stop the leaks or the noise. You need to rebuild the rack and this requieres a number of special tools and replacement parts that I don't think you can buy off the shelves.
