    Finally got the steering tightened down. Steering wheel is still off center, but the responsiveness! Holy cow is this little truck nimble!

    Did you do this by adjusting the steering gearbox? The flathead screw inside the locking hex-nut? I need to do mine in a big way.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Yes I did. The nut was majorly stuck. I ended up dousing it with WD40, wait 15-20 minuets, then repeat. Did that 8 or 9 times and it finally gave way. Got the nut backed off and adjusted it down till I got some minor resistance (you’ll feel it) then tightened the nut back down.

    Made a huge difference! The VX is super responsive now. No more floating left and right that was more like herding the truck down the road rather than driving it.
