Steering Rack Replacment Q's

I've ordered a new steering rack and am wondering what else I should replace while in there.
I don't seem to have any play in the rag joint, it seems to be all in the rack.

Should I replace the rag joint anyways? I'm not too familiar with the steering components on my car, what else do I need to replace? Outer inner tie rods? Any tips for the steering rack install?

The rack will come with new inner tie rods. Id go ahead and replace the outer tie rods while your at it. The ragjoint isnt a bad idea either, that should pretty much eliminate any play in the steering.

I agree with the post about, replace your outer tie rods and the rag joint. Make sure you don't turn your steering wheel more than 1 turn in either direction while the steering coupler is disconnected. You'll break the clock spring harness for the Airbag system.
