    1990 325 steering rack advice/help?

    so i've got a definate leaky steering rack and i think it needs to be replaced for sure. the major problem however is in my driver side front tire i'm experiencing wheel play when shaking the wheel left and right. not much, about maybe 1/4". i'm also having slight to moderate vibrations and steering wheel shake at 40+ mph. so based on what i could see it appeared to be the steering rack. so i guess my question is, can the steering rack become loose on only one side or is the tierod from that side of rack comming loose. also if youre ready this you've probably done this before or are mechanically proficient. i'm willing to hire a helping hand and a garage w tools. if you think you can help me out that would be huge! thanks!
