    Steering box adjustment

    Just imagine this is on a Land Rover Bus....

    I gather I undo the nylok and try and turn the square headed screw inwards..

    is it touch and backoff?
    just touch?
    do it up hard?

    As always, all advice appreciated...

    I adjust the box on my semi by screwing in 1/8th to 1/4 turn, rocking the column back and forth to check for no binding, but rely on a drive check to see if play still exists before adjusting any further.

    Final tally was one and a half turns... probably not touched since Japan..

    What Graeme said. It's important to have "some" freeplay.
