back off the lock nut and wind int he adjuster a tad, don't go mad

Budgie:
Also, make sure the wheels are pointing straight ahead when you make the adjustments.

Play in the steering could also be caused by other things like worn panhard rod bushes, loose track rod ends, loose wheel bearings, too much play in te swivle pins...........  :wink:
