Peugeot 406 - Peugeot 406HDI Steering Play - Pete The Glass

I have a bit of play at the steering wheel it looks like the universal joint to the rack is a bit sloppy. It it easy ro replace? Do I need to work from both inside the car und underneath? Are they all the same on the 406's? I think I may need to replace the rack as well as it appears to be wheeping oil from the column pinion.

Not had a problem with a 406 but I have a C5 with play in the UJ but that rattles rather than give excessive movement. On the C5 the UJ is part of the steering column. I would get someone to move the steering wheel while you check each section, if the pinion bearing is leaking you may have play in the rack.
