Smile steering adjustment?

Ive been reading that there is a nut to tighten for stiffer steering. Where is it and how much adjustment is there? My 04 x seems alittle sloppy on the highway when I get her up to speed. Is this a remedy or something else? TY

Because only the moderator can put threads in the tech forum.

thanks but if we could get some of these posted in the tech folder it would be easier to locate. Also setting up an excursion for towing i think x_hemi_guy has some very valuble information for setting up the Excursion and hitch and sway bars.

Yeah, in my opinion, Joe has it down to a science.
