If the gearbox is really worn tightening then backing off 1/4 wont be enough. It will bind when turning tight. If this happens just replace it. I did mine. 6 hours garage work and $75 junk yard gearbox.

It shouldn't bind if worm gear is set up proper. I don't like wrecker parts like that. I usually bite the bullet and spend a couple hun and by new. That way its good for the rest of the life and can forget about it.

Okay then so what's this worm gear reload thing you're talking about? Is that something I could do? Would it be in a haynes or Chilton?

Make sure your gear box is completly centered. With steering wheel straight ahead. Any adjustments must be made at over center.

I usually don't care for junk parts but a new steering box is $600 for just the housing no gears included. I did find "refurbished" for $175 or so but I would rather trust a part made in the factory with 70k miles on it than trust some foreigner working in a sweat shop rebuilding it.
