If there is "some" adjustment still available, go slowly - maybe a 1/4 turn 
or so - and then take it for a ride.  It is possible to damage the internals 
of the box if you overtighten.  So, just go in small increments until you 
are happy.  When taking it for a ride pay attention to whether or not the 
steering wheel returns to center more or less on it's own after a turn.  If 
it is not returning, you have overtightened the adjuster.
===========================================================================
And make sure the steering is centered  when adjusting!   Someone moving the steering wheel gently  while you adjust can feel  the difference and tell you when to stop!
