hmmm... - perhaps that is what I have done - but I adjusted it in incriments and the steering never seemed to really get any tighter. then when I finally did get it to the end (where it seemed it would not turn any further), I still turned it back off just a bit so it wouldn't be all the way - also never stressed it per a few posts ago because I didn't want to break it.

perhaps it was worn before I got to it? is there another way to tell if it is worn or is this tell enough?

thanks for your help - - - >
