not really. At first when i moved it, the needle felt loose, but i turned car on and it felt some resistance so i moved it to 0. now i pushed it in more and it never moved up or down, just stuck on 0. So i loosened it up some but after i drive and leave the car it just falls below 0

When you adjust it powered-on, you have to pull the needle off and press it back in place. If you rotated it while powered-on, that explains why on the next trip it dropped back below zero. It only recalibrates itself on power-up. If you move the needle once it has already calibrated, you bypass the initial calibration.
