There is a threaded "split ring" type of devise that screws into the knuckle-yoke where the upper balljoint gets bolted up. Someone told me that this ring is turned to adjust the amount of force needed to steer the knuckle. Is this true? What is the procedure for adjustment???

I just replaced mine on my eb44. The directions said torque to 80ft/lbs. From the looks of it, it adjusted the caster slightly. You can pick the tool up from NAPA, it's just a slotted socket. Was about $11.
