F'n 'ell. This whole bushing has been a red herring it looks like. I'm wiping a lot of my posts above so nobody gets thrown off in the future.
It makes no difference if it's in or out!!! Exact same noise. Watch this: https://youtu.be/sjTRVDYVLBM
I pushed the bushing in slightly, so it would "fall out" part way through the stroke as you'll see.
I have zero idea what now, but it seems to (?!) have something to do with the gear engagement itself.
Makes no difference if it's the far left, or far right, or center of the rack. Each tooth of the input pinion makes the same noise. I've tried sliding it in/out to change the engagement spot. Same.
Done it with, without the preload.
I hate to throw in the towel and just say replace it, but... there just aren't enough to compare to, to find the actual issue.

Watts, I'd just get another 88 rack. If you really look, you can get one.
