Steering rack adjusting nut - anyone have an old rack they can check?
If so, can someone post the number of end to end turns on the adjustment nut? I suddenly have a huge amount of play on my D2 and a big clunk. I tried adjusting the nut and have turned it a bunch of times with no effect.
Inner and outer TRE's are about a year old. I popped off one of the inner boots off and can feel and see the play.
Does the nut come to a hard stop at each end? I assume there are end stops in each direction. If not, maybe I need to go back the other way. It just seems to spin freely with no end in sight in the clockwise direction.
Thanks
Bob
P.S. I'm rotating clockwise to tighten. It's definitely gotten worse since I tried to adjust it.

There's a nice link in there with photos of the nut.
