remove the steering gearbox
jack truck up
try to turn drive unit left to right as if steering
should need hand strength to turn if shimmmed correctly
if you can turn with finger tips it is shimmed too loose
if you need to put your shoulders into it, it is too tight
from memory it should be 15 lbs using a fish weight scale to pull around
I will try to find the exact tension later
