Hi i just got a steal on a 1989 Maxima only thing i could find in the whole car wrong is the steering the equipments fine heres the problem i need suggestions
any would be nice...

Ok on the Firewall in the center there's a block thats attached to the firewall
also to the steering to keep it from swaying it looks like a rubber boot is worn but i can't tell and no maunal so i'm flying blind

now here's my question does the whole dang thing need replaced or can i get a new boot for it? and is there a more permanant fix?

someone had mentioned spot weld it but i don't agree but it would fix it ... any idea's would help...

if this was the worng place to post this sorry let me know..

 

Rack and pinion gone bad?

 

Still steers but it's like a bad allignment i have looked it over it's all ok but the block moves when it shouldn't

 

I checked out what you had mentioned. I went over this with a fine tooth comb so to speak. You where correct rack gone bad. replacing rack power steering the works... thanks your advise helped more than you think..
