[TR] Tr3 steering adjustment

[Geo Hahn]

That's what it is for.

The key is to not tighten it to the point where it binds at the extremes of
steering linkage travel.

Because 99.9% of your driving is close to straight-ahead the middle section
of the mechanism wears more than the extremes -- thus if you tighten while
in the straight-ahead position you may bind & do damage when turning.

There is a modified adjustment screw available that is spring-loaded to pick
up some of the looseness in the middle w/o binding at the ends.  I use one
and it helps a bit.  Not a miracle cure for a badly worn box, just a little
help for a slightly worn one.
