W123 Steering Box Adjustment

1985, 193000 miles.
I adjusted the steering box on my car. I marked the adjuster and turned it just a bit more than 90 degrees counter clock-wise. Overall, the car feels a lot more stable with less wander at highway speeds. I'd like it just a tad tighter but am wary due to "binding". How do I know if I've gone too far? Binding, would that be the steering wheel won't try to straighten itself from a steering lock position? How can I tell if I've gone a tad too far.
Thanks

It may be you can't turn lock to lock.
