This is not an adjustment you should ever do. It is a factory adjustment and if you have play, get a new steering box. Take it apart and you will know why. As a firm rule, never make an adjustment to compensate for wear......ever. Adjustments exist to compensate for manufacturing tolerances only.

Get a Redhead box and be done with it.
