Similar to Forrest, I have occasionally “tweeked” the track rods slightly.
I read some time ago that as a rule of thumb to correct a 1 degree error at the steering wheel it is necessary to adjust the track rods by 30 degrees. That’s 1/12 of a turn, equivalent to 1/2 a flat on the lock nut. To avoid stupid errors I first wrap masking tape around the track rod end and the track rod and mark them in alignment. I mark both so that I can return to the original position if I need to. I then loosen the lock nut then finger tighten it until it is barely touching the track rod end so that it will turn with the track rod. I then adjust the track rod in the appropriate direction noting the relationship of the lock nut with the mark on the track rod end. Movement of 1 flat of the lock nut relevant to the mark on the track rod end is equal to 60 degrees of turn. So, in theory, Forrest’s 1/2 a turn ( 180 degrees ) would adjust the steering wheel by 6 degrees
Someone may wish to check my maths.
