mmmmm reasonable rack
Engineering for the support is lacking
Allowing substantial deflection  that could cause long term problems
With the directional movement of the rack
To lower regions

But where does the pinion go

I think that rack & pinion needs some attention, the front end has definitely got the wobbles.

Given the workload and dynamic forces involved, I think the suspension is holding up pretty well.

Interesting observation
I would concur.
 
The dynamics at play here are considerable
The process of working out the moments around all the chassis and body structures  while in motion would be  considerable..
Considering the movement is three dimensional and also has obliques forces applied to the chassis and body, while vehicle is in motion.
 Not to mention the free movement of unrestrained body component under acceleration and deceleration.
I will have to watch the clip again

Not that I'm an expert and only going on sight alone (unfortunately) I reckon they're real :rolleyes:
Closer examination and several reviews are needed of course.

I am of that opinion as well
