Jack the front of the truck off the floor, center the steering wheel. Loosen the jam nut on the adjustment nut ( opposite side of the output shaft). Tighten the adjustment a little. Then run the steering wheel lock to lock. You should not feel a (bump or slight drag when you pass center. Keep tightening until you feel the bump or drag when you pass center, then just back off till its gone, tighten the jam nut.

Well get out the Pop Corn...here we go ha ha

I use high grade wheel bearing grease, but will be changing to a Semi Fluid Lithium Grease, Suggested by Jerry Henry. I have the name/number in the shop, but we are in serious T Storms, even the fish are drowning.
I am not going to the shop LOL. If Jerry does not jump in with the name, I will in the morning.
