Default Steering wheel adjustment to make it heavier.

For me the steering wheel feel is too light especially after SPL'ing all the bushings this winter. I saw in a post that there was an adjustment that could be made to make it heavier. Sure enough, there is.

This is from the ST section from the service manual;

Take a sharpie and mark the nut for original location as a reference.
Using a 24mm wrench tighten clockwise, 1/8 of a turn.

1/4 turn to the right will bottom it out, steering his heavy and sticky and there will be no return to center.

1/8, +/- an RCH seems to be about right.
