Help - Can someone please look at their steering coupling

[v0y4ger]

Hi All,

Could someone please take a quick look at their flexible steering coupling inside the car and tell me if there should be a nut on that threaded pin right the way down at the bottom where it meets the floor. I noticed yesterday while giving the car a good vac that where the coupling attaches to the steering rack on the floor of the car that my nut was absent. I didn't want to put anything on there just yet just in case I'm being a bit over the top about it and I didn't want to cause myself any steering probs.

If it does need a nut, could anyone tell me what size please.

Thank you in advance.

I thought the nut was captive on the other side of the bolt hole?
Or at least the framework is threaded? Undo it and see
