Danny, I've been thinking about the right approach to fixing this.
For, let's see, about six years now.
I still think unbolting the wheel from the hub, rotating it, and refitting is the easiest. And it gives me the least opportunity to screw up something else. (Messing with the tie rods means resetting the toe, no?)
I haven't been able to find that article I read about setting up the steering box. I think he was saying that the box itself must be centered before trying to adjust out any play. And that once the box is centered, you use the tie rods to center the steering.
But this sounds like a can of worms just waiting to be opened, and right now, the car steers straight, with minimal steering play.
And if I tilt my head to the left just a little...
