Order and replace the rag joint from the column to the box (genuine Only!!) And then you can adjust the box. 107's All need them now. I keep one on the shelf/in stock we go through so many.

The steering adjsument is a 5mm cap screw and a 17mm lock nut (fuzzy on the latter) and you turn the cap screw OUT to tighten the box. Small adjustments are key...and a little tricky as it's not the most accessible bit..
