 From years ago memory you loosen the locknut and hold it in place and then
 tighten the central screw a tiny bit at a time until the free play is
 reduced. Then tighten the outer nut when done.

Hi Larry,

My wandering '65 is better but still not perfect. The camber has been 
reduced to zero and the caster has been increased with some improvement. It 
almost acts like a ball-joint is dragging, but they are not.


Thanks,
Dennis

What is the best way to adjust the steering Box?  Does the screw go in or 
out  to tighten/loosen the adjustment and the play?  It seem too hard to 
turn the steering wheel?
