Steering box

I am looking for the bolt, nut, or adjusting piece that tightens up the steering. I have almost a newer front end and my steering seems to be a little loose. I heard there is something on top of the steering box i can tighten up a hair.
Anyone help with this?

Do you mean you turn the steering wheel a bit and then the front wheels move or do you mean when you turn the steering wheel it does not have enough drag to it?

Also does this occur while driving or while making high-effort parking manuevers?

If you have loose steering and the box is the source, get a new one. Too much adj. on a worn box and it can and eventually will lock up on you. I had one do it to me in a turn. Luckily at low speed.
