<VV> Steering box question - adjustments ?

[J R Read_HML]

Charlie,

FIRST, be sure that there is absolutely NO play anywhere else in the 
steering linkage before making any adjustments to the steering box.  You 
will find the adjuster under the trunk - a round seal in the trunk plugs the 
hole to get to it.  Back off the nut and make adjustments in small 
increments until you are happy and then tighten the nut to hold that 
adjustment.  DO NOT overdue it.  Be sure the steering wheel returns back to 
center after a turn.  If not, you over did it.

Later, JR
