I don't know. Even all new stuff in a stock style suspension ( tie rod ends, idler and pitman arms, steering box...etc.) has got to have more play in it compared to a rack. Then you have the weight savings.
X2 I cant imagine Stock stuff feeling as tight as the rack and pinion does. My factory K member was trashed so I had to replace it any way. Yes its more expensive than a factory setup but it money well spent JMO. Also Bill is a great guy to work with.
