floaty I'd suggest you grab a 10mm and turn it a 1/8 of a turn at a time till you're happy =)

FYI the adjustment is the smaller bolt in the center w/the green line going across the ridge.

PSA: Don't overtighten - the steering will NOT recenter properly.

IF it's 'floaty" also check your rear control arms, slop in the rear can cause the floaty feeling

Don't know. Learn to spell. "lash" is not "latch"
