    Many thanks! Your video fixed the backlash on my 2004 S211 E320. The nut on the 211 is located at at an upwards angle, so much harder to get to. Had to file down the socket a bit. Greetings from Denmark :)

    I have a bit of left to right play on my passenger wheel. Tie rods are new. Mechanic couldn't do alignment because of it and said there is a bad bushing in the rack. Could tightening that nut help take that small play out?

    The socket you are using is not moving the star nut, it's the wrong socket you can see it didn't move?

    Last week on my 98 honda crv I complained to my mechanic i had a little free play in my steering. He adjusted my steering rack. The next day we discovered a broken tie rod. Now I'm concerned maybe he shouldn't of adjustment the rack since it was a tie rod. Will this adjustment wear out my rack ?

    Could this being slightly loose cause a click from the steering rack area when turning the car at low speed ?

      When your internal rack is noisy, you could try this trick, but be very very carefully.. when you thight this nut too much, you could damage your whole steeringwheel construction. When there is a lot of slack in your steeringrack you could hear banging noises when driving on bad road surface.

      It puts tension on the sliding rack, with a bushing on the end of the adl. nut that rides on the rack. Too tight will make hard steering and put wear on the housing, too loose will have easy steering but tires can veer off more easily, possibly taking the steering wheel out of your hands. Kind a works like a steering damper. On older vehicles, that bushing on the end of the adj. nut can wear needing a slight adjustment.
