I should have check that nut

I took the Cobra out for spin a couple of years ago to meet a friend and pick something up. Took all the back twisty roads and let the car stretch it's legs a bit. Picked up my stuff and took the same twisty road back (about 40 miles total). At a stop light about 2 miles from home I noticed the steering was kind of "off". Felt like I was riding on gravel or road debris when I made the turn. I pulled over opened the hood checked the steering out, checked all the knuckles, tires etc. Rotated the wheel turn to turn a few times, started her up drove a few circles in a parking lot and all felt good so I continued home.

When I pulled into my driveway it felt "funny" again. Like I ran over a small rock. As I pulled into the garage the steering rack let go completely. Making the turn into the garage the wheel just spun free in my hand. The worm gear had let go in the rack. I got out of the car that was now halfway into the garage, gave the steering wheel a good spin and said a prayer out loud.
