sloppy steering

[qwikpony91]

I've got a 98 Cobra that has a "dead" spot in the steering. Meaning that there is a delay from when you begin to turn the wheel either direction before the wheels respond. I seriously doubt this play could be the steering shaft and I am thinking that the rack itself might be the problem? Fluids are okay. Does anyone know if those things are adjustable, I expect there to be some play but not as much as I've got.

thanks
