Steering Rack Adjustment Screw

I was reading through the FSM for my '08 Acura MDX and there's a screw on the back of the rack called the "Rack Guide Screw". The procedure says to aim the front wheels straight ahead, remove the screw, apply new sealant, and re-install the screw with the socket 15 degrees from vertical. Apparently this screw requires adjustment as the vehicle ages to tighten things up. Other Honda/Acura owners have adjusted this screw to fix loose steering and instability at high speeds and bump steer--exactly what my issue is. Has anyone done this on their vehicle?
