Yes sir, thank you for noting as things like that can be easily overlooked. I never could wrap my head around the steering box adjustments/shims until I rebuilt the banjo rear. Now that I have the steering box apart, I can see that the same principle applies for setting preload on the tapered roller bearings with gaskets/shims.
