I have a 97 SE with a very freely moving steering rack. Apparently there should be an amount of friction against sliding, and according to TSB
00-037B, adjusting a nut on the rack can adjust that friction. It also mentioned Pathfinders, Altimas, and Quests have a similar rack.A dealer quoted $200 for the work, including a realignment - ouch. I just had a complete alignment done 2 weeks ago. It looks really tight to get to this adjuster nut, and even more impossible to get to the locknut. It seems like lowering the rack somewhat would help a lot.
Is this something do-able by a home mechanic? Any help appreciated.
