Hi David,
The first two things that come to mind are the shim pack under the puck. If this is too tight it will really shove the rack up into the pinion. IIRC the end play was about .008
The second potential bind could be the big pinion bearing not being seated, which might cause the washer under the pinion nut to bind on the housing around the top of the pinion.
Did the new, bigger pinion have enough clearance to rotate freely in the housing, without the rack installed??
What did you use for the puck?? I used chris_seven's nylon or Delrin capped steel replacement.
I'm doing a quick rack too - looking forward to the first drive.
Let us know how it works.
Regards,
Chris
