I don't know where my service manual is, but doesn't the rack use hydraulic pistons to move back and forth, taking that force away from the teeth of the rack and pinion? I'd put money down that the rack will loosen up and get sloppy over time without the hydraulic assist.
Yes, they do use a piston. I worry about the wear as much as with a manual rack. Pretty much the same design as far as the rack and pinion go. Only difference is that the pinion moves left and right to actuate the assist. If the the pinion offset holder wasn't secured there might be a problem.
Like the manual, the power racks also have an adjustment to bring the rack closer to the pinion if need be.

talkn bout me???
anyways, LX-incredible, what exactly the use of the plate? i dont fully understand.
i read that, i dont understand what gains you get from doing that...
Minimal restriction, as fluid no longer passes through the valve body. No slop, as the offset pinion holder is demobilized. Simplified connections. No cutting or teeing of lines. A single 1/4" NPT port on the side can either be plugged or used to connect a reservoir.

oh really now... hmmmmm
Yesssss... I'm actually speaking out of my ass. It makes much more sense to have slop in the steering and nigrig something for the 4 lines that come out of the valve body (which provides no resistance whatsoever). Same goes for cutting a huge hole in the distributor and the cap, relocating the ignitor and grinding the thermostat housing... Much better than spending what could've gone to dem ballin' azz rimz or dat phat system.
Fuck man, I can cut and weld the brackets and install a manual rack in a day or two. I don't have anything to gain from this. It's an option for those without that ability or who can't deal with that extra 1/2 turn of the wheel... If it pains you so much to see the correct way to go about things I'll delete my posts and start something elsewhere.
