Right.

So I refreshed the steering gearbox on the '67 122s back a couple years. I got it "good enough" and worried about other driveability issues and let it sit and got it going again, etc.

Point is, I got it driving well enough that the slight wander in the 'box is getting to be annoying AND I'm teaching the boy (12) to drive in it.

I KNOW that trying to adjust out all steering slop via the box is not only impossible but unwise (it can not go past the center position if you try too hard).

All I want is... do I "tighten" the lash by turning the screw clockwise or counter clockwise (anti-clockwise for you Brits)?

Thanks!
