No adjustments, but some things you can do to maybe tighten things up. Check all the tie rod joints for play. Check the big nut under the steering box that holds on the arm that goes to the tie rods. Sometimes that nut gets loose making play in that arm. Next is to check the worm gear bearing for wear. To do that, (drain the steering gear first) take the big plug with the big hex on it out of the front of the steering gear. You may have to remove the steering wheel, but I think there is enough room that you can screw out the worm gear far enough to check the bearing. Hold the front wheels so they can't move and turn the steering wheel and the worm should come out. If the bearing has any play, that can be a major contributor to steering play. The worm bearing is easy to replace and does not cost much. After these checks, you are into removal of the steering gear and major rebuild. However, this should be enought to get a good bit of the play out.
