Power steering woes
There is not such thing as a stupid questions. I have always been disappointed when my students would not ask the questions for fear of being looked upon as dumb, when they really needed answers to the material covered. It takes many of us a good number of years before we can utter the phrase; "I don't know", but the world would be much farther ahead if more questions were asked.
Anyway, depending upon the type (model) of power steering they used in those years, I have found that the adjustment you are referring to is merely to take up 'slack' in the system to accomdate wear. The feel of the steering is set by the internal valving, and that requires a specialist to modify the effort. You need to know who supplied the power steering unit on your car, then it becomes a matter of finding a specialist to modify your unit. I hope that answers your 'stupid' question. Ron
