Steering wheel adjustment to make it heavier.

you turn that big nut too tight and your are going to have to turns your wheel back to straight every time you make a turn. It's going to wear out the rack gears/teeth. I wouldnt recommend turning it too far.

>>increase caster can make it feel heavier.

Caster is set at:
Left 7.30
Right 7.39

Putting in all the SPL stuff made it lighter, and tighter and more responsive...

Next alignment will definitely see more caster as I make changes for new wheels, tires and track, 18x10.5 275/35/18 should help.

Anyone ever play with a; Heidts Adjustable Power Steering Valves PS-101 ?
