I suggest you go to the library and get the proper proceedure. Most librarys cary Mitchels manuals. However the basic way to do it in the car is to disconect the pitman arm and back out the pitman shaft screw (loosen the pitman shaft) . Then using a a very small torque wrench usually (in-oz) or (N-cm) measure the rotational torque of the stearing wheel. Then tighten the pitman screw so that the torque increases a specified amount (see manual) at the highest torque point. The highest torque point should occure at mid point of steering travel. Tighten down the pitman shaft screw lock nut and recheck.
