  97 QX4 rack & pinion rattle


Hi guys!
I hear a strange rattle noise when i hit little bumps or when i drive over small patches made of bricks.
I checked under the hood and my tie-rods are fine, but i can feel the rod coming out of the rack & pinion assembly moving up and down when i turn the steering wheel rapidly.
I also see a drain plug type big screw right where the rod exits the rack & pinion assembly. Does the rack & pinion need adjustment or do i have to change the whole assembly?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
