Adusting the steering gearbox
« on: Sep 26, 2009, 01:37:58 PM »
Anyone got any tips on adjusting the steering gearbox to take up the slack? What's too tight? I've adjusted mine and I'm diggin the new "feel". I just want to make sure I haven't over tightened it.

I just tightened mine till it stopped leaking out of the seal on top. It works.

It doesn't give an "easy" way to adjust it in the FSM.  However I've heard somewhere that if when turning you let the wheel go and it turns back to straight than its not too tight.
