Outstanding! This forum rocks. Thanks for the replies, and Mike, I'll take a serious look at that method. So if I read your response correctly, you snug down the internal adjuster nut, then back it off 1/2", and then secure with the lock nut, and move to the overcenter preload to look for the sweet spot...but an increase in torque?
I'm still looking for the factory manual, but haven't been able to find one. I tried the link, but it kind of crashed before I could get done looking.
