As it stands, the steering rack is able to shift itself left to right nearly a half-inch. It mostly happens at very low speed but it can happen on moderate corners at highway speed.

Assuming we can't order the original bushings from Nissan, we're considering either adding shimming/bolstering to the steering rack clamps or finding some solid bushing inserts.

Any helpful word would be appreciated.

Thanks.
