Easy 120-130 1966

Hi Dylan,
Easy to do, easy to check.
Roll down the drivers window, stand at the back of the front fender. Place your left hand to bridge between the wheel arch opening and the back edge of the tire, with your right slowly move the steering wheel back and forth. When your left hand feels the tire move, turn the other way and note how far at the rim the steering wheel move before you feel movement at the tire in the other direction. Adjust the box by turning down the set-screw so that you have about one inch of freeplay at the steering wheel, no less. Don't overtighten the box or it will get "sticky" and wear even faster.
