Re: Power steering - how to stiffen it up?
It sounds like you need to adjust the steering box - I just did mine recently as I had poor steering control - lots of wandering. It really helped.
First you need to loosen the lock nut on the back of the box where the steering shaft comes into the box, once the lock nut is loose you can adjust the nut on the back of the box, its hard to see it but here are two holes on the back that you can rotate - I used a punch. I set mine to "snug". Then retighten the lock nut. After this you can adjust the nut on top - loosen the nut with a 5/8" wrench and get a allen wrench to adjust the inner adjustment - I basically found the spot where I could feel it make contact and then gave another 1/8th turn. Drive and see how it feels, and make additional adjustments as needed on the top.
