I just did the steering box adjustment and I'm not quite sure if I got it right. All in all, I probably turned the allen screw a full turn counterclockwise (with multiple test drives of course). The steering is much much tighter, and requires more effort (which to me feels good) but I'm not sure if I've over done it. The way I see it, because the steering can rebound on its own after a turn, it should be ok. Is this sound reasoning? I don't want to shorten the life of my steering box. My car used to wander all over the road, especially on highways and on roads with high cross winds. I hope this helps to eliminate that. Thanks
