Does anyone know where the bolts for the steering rack are? I suspect that my rack is a bit loose and I want to check.
Thanks!!

They are down inside of the cowl trough. If you remove the cowl cover (as though you were replacing the cabin filter) they are 10mm inverted torx if I remember correctly. The drivers side is easily accessible, while the coolant reservoir has to be pulled out of the way to access the passenger side bolt. I think you can get away with using a 10mm 12 point socket to tighten them.
Oh, by the way, it's customary to put your location in your user-name area.

Thanks V8Weight. I'll check them in the morning.
I updated my location too.

There's also a third bolt that screws in from the bottom that's darn near inaccessible. Inside the cowl area you can see where the end sticks up. It's towards the middle.

Both top bolts are easily accessed.

I've never looked for the bottom one.
