    The document provides instructions for adjusting the power steering box on a vehicle. It requires two mechanics and special tools. The process involves removing the front left wheel trim and housing liner. With the steering in the straight-ahead position, one mechanic turns the steering wheel while the other carefully adjusts the steering box screw until any knocking noise is eliminated. The trim and housing liner are then reinstalled and the vehicle is road tested to check for proper steering centering.
