The opposite. Look at it this way: If you put the steering wheel "straight up" then you will be going a little to the right. So you need to point each wheel a little to the left. Put paint marks on the adjusting nuts so you can keep track of them. I would start off with one full revolution of each nut. That should get you very close. Then you can calculate a second adjustment if necessary. Keep in mind the threads are right hand on one side and left hand on the other side (I think). Just keep track of what you are doing. I used to live in Greenbriar BTW...
