Chris -
Chad's response was spot on. I noticed a slight knock or click, turning
the car around in the drive. As Chad said, you'll want to turn the bolt
just a little bit at a time. If you get it too tight, the wheel won't
self center after you make a turn -- take your hands off and it still
stays turned. I took a drive on a back road with a wrench and stopped to
tighten or loosen the bolt as needed. Got it about as tight as it would
go without causing any drag on the wheel's self-centering action.
Steering felt a bit tighter -- less play, which is the idea here. You
can also disconnect the nearby electrical connector and decided if you
like un-Servotronic-assisted steering . Plugged mine back in, when the
wife threatened to take the S4 in divorce proceedings. :-)
