Jerry -
If you hit a dip in the road hard, that adjustment can make all the
difference between you driving home or having your radiator fan blades
strike the lower v cross member, bending forward, and subsequently
ripping out the core of your radiator in a very pretty circular
pattern. Don't ask how I know this. The gearbox tie rod rubbers need
to be kept in good shape too!
