Steering Rack question? help needed

Steering feels a little loose on my 2001 Boxster (90,000 miles). With wheels off the ground and right side tie rod removed, I can push or pull on left wheel and feel and hear a clunk. From under the car I can see the steering column where it is connected to the rack turn a little in either direction as I push and pull on wheel (or left tie rod). No leaks in steering rack. Can this play be adjusted out of rack?

Already dismantled entire right suspension to check ball joints and bushings. Replacing inner and outer tie rods, drop links and sway bar bushings (all 4 corners) because rubber is cracked slightly. All other rubber looks solid. New shocks too, but I don't expect this will solve play in steering rack. Advice is welcome.
