I don't think it may help your steering problem, but you can always try it :

i know maxima's steering are not very tight but lately i'm feeling its way to loose since everything in front suspension ans steering is NEW including all bushings replaced by urethane the only thing left to replace are those bushings so i think i may have a project for the next weekend

Changing those bushing is not going to make your steering any tighter. They only hold the rack & pinion in place. If the rack was loose, you'd have excessive road wandering, not loose steering.
Unfortunately the 95-98 models have very loose (over boosted) steering. That was changed in the 99 model which has a much tigher feel.

looking at this image i notice theres a few joints in the steering column that may worn out over time (like 7 years) and may give our cars some free play and make steering feel loose
take a look at #4 and #6 wich is a coupling
