RE: Adjusting the Throw
Adjusting the steering 'throw' simply means reducing the lock to lock angle. Giving less steering. This is essential on touring cars, as they almost always have MUCH more steering than they need. Reducing throw makes it easier to drive, but less able to take sharp turns.

RE: Adjusting the Throw
Everything foxy mentioned is correct. Steering ratio, dual or single adjustment for left/right, must be set according to the track type and your way of driving.
