I have no idea how many steering boxes I’ve adjusted over the years. It’s not difficult, but it can take a little while to get it right. As tight as possible without binding. It definitely needs to be done with both front wheels off the ground, so the front tires turn easily. Adjust a bit, try the steering wheel, crank it from lock to lock, repeat until you get it the steering as tight as you can without binding…
Do not leave it set where there’s binding — and you can feel it. Back it off just a bit so you can turn it lock to lock. Then test drive it. You may need to tweak it just a bit more, once you’ve had weight on the wheels, and the steering under stress…
While in there, top off the gear oil, if needed…
