[s-cars] How to improve steering response

[Cody Payne]

Gents,
	Well I gave her about 1/2 turn last night and took it for a drive this AM....whoa!  Way too much...literally I could turn the steering wheel and she would never return to center.  Also the effort to turn the wheels was increased..greatly.  Backed her off about 1/4 of a turn..per Lee's suggestion below and things do feel crisper in the steering.  Less play and more responsive.

Thx Lee

The rack has a preload which you can adjust. There's a 10mm or 11mm bolt on
the top of the steering box just in front of the firewall (in the engine
bay). Snug this a quarter turn.
