Description of the problem	While driving i noticed that the steering seemed sloppy and unresponsive. Difficult to keep the vehicle in the lanes especially going into or out of curves. Upon reaching my destination i asked my associate to observe the steering components while i turned the wheel with the engine off. He immediately noticed the entire rack and pinion assembly shifting back and forth. Upon further inspection i found that of the two bolts that hold the unit to the chassis one had a loose nut and the other had no nut at all. The threads on the bolt w/o the nut appeared to never have even had a nut but i can not be sure of this. Needless to say i was a little more than upset that i had put myself and others at great risk over poor assembly quality control. *jb
