MG MGB Technical - 73 gt steering rack play

I have a 73 gt which seems to have alot more play in the steering wheel than my B. I have tried adjusting shims and have replaced bushings and tie-rods. Had the front in aligned. I have been told that the inner tie rod nut may need to be tightned. Can this be done with the rack in the car ?

Yes it can.

I tightened mine with the rack in the car. There are procedures for adjusting in the manuals. However, my inner tie rod ball and socket were worn flat. If I took the play out then the rod was too stiff. I solved it with a new rack.
