Re: Do I need a new steering box?

The problem I have is not big, but it bothers me a little.
There is a little more slop in the steering wheel then I prefer.
If I adjust this allen screw I can take that slop out?
I guess what I am trying to say is there is a little more free play in the steering wheel before the wheels start to turn. This can fix that?
