Okay I am going to ask this once and only once. Please use capitals and punctuation. That being said I will answer your question now. If the truck still steers badly the only option left may be to replace the box. You are doing something that can be potentially dangerous. I mean dangerous to the point that the steering could lock up on you and cause an accident. If one full turn on the screw had no effect then I would replace the box. I am sure someone else will chime and say to turn the screw some more. It is your choice but you must also remember these vehicles steer like trucks not like cars. The newer trucks have better suspension and steering components which make them steer better.
