To adjust the steering box on a Ford van, first locate the adjustment screw on the top of the steering box. Use a wrench to turn the screw clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen, making small adjustments while testing the steering feel. Ensure the van is parked on a level surface and has the engine off during this process. Always check for proper steering play and avoid over-tightening, as this can lead to premature wear or binding.
