I have a question for anybobody or CPP on the manual center link steering. Does anybody know how tight the screw at the end of the center link with the spring needs to be? I just installed a new center link and idler arm from CPP(thanks Arron for the help, fits good!) and I don't know how tight that end screw need to be? With the new spring it is hard to tell how far to do? Do I tighten it until it stops or just snug? :confused0006:

Tighten it as far as you can (no play at the ball), then back off 3/4 turn plus whatever to align the cotterpin.
