The Ford Barn

I put a thread on earlier about slop in the steering on my 51 ford coupe. Coupeman sent me the instruction to fixing it. I adjusted it this morning an got 90% out. Now it don’t go back to center did I get it to tight or do I need to have it lined up. Or loosen it some. It drives so much better.

Box is worn out internally if you can get it 90% perfect but it's so tight that it gets stuck.
It should only be slightly "tight" on center.
