Driving character changed

Eliminating the backlash on worm steering gear box equipped in VW Air-cooled Beetle 1302 has changed it's character completely. Most of old Beetle on the street, very seldom to meet with, are driven so slowly  at the lowest speed lane, it looks dull, heavy and muddy attitude it does. My driving style was similar with it till the day before yesterday.
Wheel alignment and axle construction were not established enough to drive in witty condition, also backlashes scattered everywhere in connective portion contributed to inhibit positive driving.
To tell the truth, it shame to describe like this, 3 and a half screw in on worm gear steering gear box adjusting screw caused dramatic revolution in my Beetle. Long lasted chronic disease, "Lesion",  has removed and the patient has acquired her innate healthy condition.
From the beginning it has been given up her sloppy character because of steering box construction, it is different from astute and sure rack and pinion design. But adjusting backlash into minimum has proved that my shallow idea was not to the point.
What's next, yes, the task is waiting for me, the lack of grease lubricant is felt on steering universal joint needle roller bearings. Following my memory, the fuel tank removal procedure might be required to access to the point?
She keeps tying me down for long period of time scattering anxieties continuously, the self-ascertaining character resembles that of my Xanthippe.
