I've read Rob Mueller's excellent steering inspection guide to determine how to get rid of some recently acquired steering slop, and I've noticed that I have a lot of movement on the steering box input shaft, but very little relative movement on the pitman arm. I've watched some YouTube videos on adjusting (tightening) Saginaw steering gears, and was wondering if adjusting the screw on the front of the box (held in place by a locknut) is the correct way to tighten this up.
