wheel, or if you hear some strange rattling or popping sounds when turning
the steering wheel, or if your car tends to jump right or left whenever you
hit a rut or groove in the road, there is one adjustment on the Steering
Rack that may help. There is a 10mm bolt that sticks out of the top of the
steering rack near where the steering shaft connects to the rack."

So, I endeavor to do this adjustment myself, following the instructions and
adapting them for one person instead of two.  I turn the bolt ever so
slightly, then get in the car and move the steering wheel, only to hear the
clunking.  I do this a few more times, and all of a sudden I hear a "crack"
sound eminate from the area of the bolt.  Nothing visually really happens,
but I back the screw off a bit.  I get into the car and start it, and
discover what appears to be a river of Pentosin leaking from the area of the
adjusting screw that was by no means there before..  Did I just cost myself
a steering rack?

anyone ever run into this, and is there an easy (read cheap) fix?

hoping there's a inexpensive way out of this....
