Tie Rod Question [r33]

[Jarsky]

Last year I removed the HICAS setup from my S2 R33. I've since tried to get my new warrant to have it on the road but was failed due to 'excessive play' from the rear tie rods.

After jacking up the car and giving the wheels a wiggle left to right I can see that there is play in the tie rod. How can I fix this? Does it just need new tierod ends? Do I need to replace the entire tie rod? or is there something I can do to the existing ones to fix this?

Never really played around with this stuff before so any answers would be great. Also how hard is it to replace these? Have most of the basic tools

Could be the rack end too? I have a lot of play in mine and was told it's the rack ends. I have a HICAS lock bar in it, but they still move about 3mm either way.
