Default Ok, I tried this last night w/o any success

You access this on the drivers side, around the tie rod cut-out (take the wheel off). I'm confused on the terminology in the Bentley in that its says adjustment "screw".

I assume it's the 18mm nut that they are referring to. If so, I couldn't get any movement on it but you really need a LONG 18mm wrench with an offset. You might be able to come up from underneath with a socket but it's not a straight shot. I was a little pressed for time and will try again.

Follow-up ... Apparently hitting the wooden post caused more damage than I suspected. According to my indy, turns out the steering issue was due to a combination of arms and bushings, and steering knuckle assembly. They were all replaced, as well as the CV boot which tore off. Thanks everyone for your comments and advice!

Next up ... fixing the fender.
