Steering Backlash adjustment
JT's excellent description in another post really cleared up this proceedure for me. It's number 2 on my list after I replace the shocks this weekend. However, I do have 2 questions about the proceedure and didn't want to steal someone else's thread. My manual indicates I must disconnect the power steering return line to do this procedure and I'm assuming that JT's description was for manual steering. Is it neccessary to disconnect the PS. Secondly, why do you remove the center pad on the steering wheel? I'm sure it will become self evident once I start but I'm curious.

be very careful adjusting the box. if u get it too hard, it will cause the steering to be stiff, and want to stay where u turn it.
meaning, if u make a right, YOU have to turn the wheel back to center, it will want to stay turned right.
thats not really supposed to be adjusted, thats for setting the gears when new.
no different than setting a R&P set.
