Does anyone know where the bolt is on the steering rack that adjust tightness of the steering wheel?

I want to try tightening it but it "sounds" easy enough for me to do instead of a $200 visit to the dealership.

I was talking to another member and 3 clicks tighter is the magic number to tighten it up to eliminate any steering wheel vibration and it still returns the steering wheel to the original position.

I am 99% vibration free after a hub bearing change and road force, but trying to get it perfect!

Any pictures or diagrams would be helpful. Also, which way to turn the bolt and if it actually clicks or if it's "by feel".

"most cars have this bolt for adjustment of play due to age and wear, its located under the car , in order to see it u have to take off the second plastic cover ( thats the one after the engine cover ). its hard to miss it , the bolt is facing down tilted away from the engine. u have to be carefull whith it, if u turn it too much it will hamper ur driving (so dont fully turn it and make a mark from where u start). eventualy i did about 12 min turn thats less than a qurter turn which would be 15 min and that fixed the issue. good luck"
