Hi, seems like there is a lot of play in the steering on my Barracuda. Somebody told me there is an adjusting screw to take out play, us this true an if so where is the screw or nut at? Thank you.
Chas

It’s on the top of the box. You gotta be careful not to tighten too much. Only turn it till the slop is ALMOST gone. Front suspension off the ground.

And keep in mind what a posted is the easy way to get rid of a little slop. There is a more difficult adjustment by taking off the pitman and adjusting the collar. Ideally you do both together.
