Steering had scary wandering.
I put a kid behind the wheel and looked for movement- The steering relay arm was very drifty. I did not look at it very closely, i just assumed it was old and needed to be rebuilt/replaced so i reached out to Dave Lenzi. He sent me a "good used" relay. (note: when dave Lenzi says "good used" he really means "pristine and practically new")
By this point i have educated myself a little on this part and Dave has explained the design flaw that he corrects for. So i begin to remove the old one and i realize it is not stock. It has Zirks. I did not scrape the grease off to see it's GM or Golby or Cinnibar.
I put the kid behind the wheel again and see that it is only moving on the center. Now it's looking like this might have been replaced during rehab and not properly torqued.
SHould i try just retorqueing or do i need to remove it and look for damage?
Any good diagrams or writeups explaining all this?

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
