can anyone give a quick " how to", i have just loosen the lock nut and turned the thing in some.before. sure they is a guide as to how much?? 72 sat. thanks BILL
 
small adjustment and run lock to lock to make sure of no binding
 
Check to be sure steering wheel is in center position. Remove steering linkage from pitman arm. Start vehicle. Loosen lock nut and turn in adjuster in, while feeling the play in the pitman arm.Use thumb and forfinger to feel play in pitman. When play is gone, turn adjuster 1/2 more turn. Tighten lock nut. Replace steering linkage to pitman arm. Hope that helps.
 
X2 on checking for binding. Typically the center of the travel wears more so when you adjust for going straight the steering will stick or bind in turns. Sneak up on it slowly and live with a little play if you have to.
