Any adjustments needed for steering feel or alignment are done by a professional mechanic using specialized equipment. These adjustments typically involve:
* Wheel Alignment: This adjusts the toe (the angle of the wheels pointing inward or outward) and camber (the angle of the wheels tilting in or out). Incorrect alignment will significantly impact steering feel and tire wear. This is done by adjusting the tie rod ends and other suspension components.
* Steering Rack Replacement (if necessary): If there's play in the steering or damage to the rack itself, the entire rack will need to be replaced, not adjusted. This isn't a DIY job.
* Power Steering Fluid Level and Condition: Low or contaminated power steering fluid can lead to poor steering feel. Checking and topping up (or replacing) the fluid is a simpler task, but still requires some mechanical knowledge.
In short: If you have issues with your AU Falcon's steering, don't attempt to adjust the steering rack yourself. Take it to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Improper adjustments can lead to dangerous handling and damage to your vehicle.
