    Default Anyone know how to tighten a 1st Gen RX7 Steering box?

    I have my 302 rx7 and the steering is really sloppy, so I was wondering if anyone had done the tightening proceedure before? I dont know why but its kind of intimidating to me.....I replaced the box, just dont know how to tighten it properly......
