Anyone have a correct way to adjust a steering box? Its on my 56 and I have power steering . the wheel was very loose, lots of play, I have adjusted the "screw" in the steering box and I had to screw it down quite hard to get to the next stage on the star washer. The play is better in the wheel but it does tend to "kick" and feel sightly notchy too..gets a bit better when warmed up?? have I gone too far?
