Play in my steering...

GSL-SE with power steering...I have some play and need to know if it can be adjusted out, or what?

My other GSL-SE does not have power steering...is this unusual?

There should be an adj. screw under the cap on the steering box.

There is a writeup on this at www.mazspeed.com under the facts section.

You should do a search first.

As far as the Power steering setup goes, I'm not sure if there is an adjustment on the PS box or not. Check your idler arms and your tie rod ends. The passenger side idler arm bushings like to go out... frequently.
