C6z Loose Steering?

C6z Loose Steering?
I have a Z with 88k miles and am thinking something in the steering is loose.
The steering just doesnt feel as direct as it should be and I am thinking either something needs to be replaced or tightened.
Thoughts on this issue?
Thanks

That's pretty vague.
If all of the suspension pieces check out okay then it could be a bad rack. Not an uncommon problem but you should have it diagnosed by a competent mechanic rather than just throw on a new rack.

I understand your worries but it is not that drastic and im not sure if its just how the car is supposed to feel or if it is in fact something loose.

The first thing I would check is the feel of the steering when the car is turned off and sitting in the garage. Gently feel the steering as you move the wheel back and forth. If you feel play, then something is worn or (less likely) loose. If you don't feel play, then the issue is likely the alignment. Alignment can make a big difference in the way the steering feels on the road at speed.
