You will need a 17mm allan wrench. On the steering box (access behind spear tire) loosen large nut and turn 17mm bolt untill the steering feels tight, re tighten nut.

watch out! you can tighten that too tight. only tighten a bit and then
back it off. this should be done when the wheel are pointed straight.
Good Luck. it's probably wear somewhere else.
