This adjusts a nylon pad onto the back side of the rack and pushes the rack onto the pinion taking up any slack in the gear mesh. If you over tighten the stud the steering will be stiff, so only make small adjustments. The nylon pad wears quickly in the first 1000 miles. This should fix most of your shimmy problems. If it still persists your tires are at fault.

Blas,
On #2613, I see a 17mm nut and two smaller nuts holding what looks like a cover plate on either side opposite where the steering shaft enters the rack. It doesn't look like the center stud is adjustable. I didn't jack the car up, so maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
