Steering play can be adjusted at the steering box. There is a locking nut and an allen head adjuster on the steering box, however you have to be careful and only make small changes, otherwise you may lose the "self centering" after a turn.

thanks i'll do it after i get the guide rod mount figured out.

Loosten the locking nut 19mm, turn the allen anticlockwise til it tightens up then back it off a bit and lock it down. Repeat until you are satisfied you have it as you like it.

They will adjust even with 300K miles on them, usually.
