G'day all, could anyone give me some help on how to adjust the power steering box on my HQ. I just converted it over but the steering is way to light really dangerous on the highway. Someone told me you could adjust them to stiffen the steering up a bit but he couldn't remember how. Any help would be much appreciated thankyou

Munromad is right on the money.
The most common problem is that later model steering arms have been fitted at some time, and once power steering is fitted, the steering becomes way to light.
