I just did mine last week. You should be able to do it with just removing the ps rack. Only a couple of hours if you have decent tools/skills. I did a cam,valve springs,oil pump,and timing chain in about 8-9 hours my first time.I figured since the ps rack was coming out might as well change the cam too Seriously though, if its wobling change it ASAP. before it causes more damage. throw belts,or even worse, fly off.
