Default manual steering rack damper

i've recently rebuilt my rack, i have one problem since i've rebuilt it, it gets squrrly when i hit bumps in the road (south louisiana roads suck), also it tends to wander, even after an alignment

i was wondering if anyone makes a damper kit for the ef

Can you explain what you mean by squirrly?
was it like this beforehand?
Did you adjust the rack guide screw on the steering gearbox? it looks like you would need a 40mm lock nut wrench.

for the meshing gear mechanism, did you make sure to get the in/lbs value right? if you didnt and its a bit loose, it will make it squirly

I just looked at my haynes manual and compared it to my Helm manual and the haynes manual doesnt say ****, god that manual is so worthless. I recomend picking up a Helm manualor look through the faqs, there should be some links to free online manuals.
