Rustproof,

no there shouldn't. I recently installed one of Grady's rebuilt racks, one of 
Tinnerstedt's steering linkage sets with ball bearing U-joints, and new tie 
rod ends.  aside from having to tighten the U-joints a couple times (hopefully 
this will not be chronic), i have had no problems and have absolutely NO play 
in the steering wheel.  if the car is stopped, you cannot jiggle the wheel 
even the slightest fraction of an inch.  it was about a $700 job, but it was 
worth it, even just for the confidence/stability feeling.
