A sure sign is the valve is out of adjustment will be to watch the steering wheel when you start the car... It should remain still.. If as soon as the car starts it rotates slightly (Kicks) the valve is out of adjustment... If it doesn't kick your problem is elsewhere...



When I start cranking it turns slowly about 1/4 turn left.

So this box is who knows how old, if not original. Is this a sympton of other endemic problems? If I adjust it is it likely to come out of adjustment again? If this is just the start of it falling apart I'd prefer just to replace it.

Thanks!
