Steering box adjustment?

Is it possible to adjust the steering box on my 99? It's kinda sloppy.

There is an adjustment procedure on the steering box. But before you do any adjusting, have someone work the steering wheel back and forth (engine off) while you are underneath looking at the steering box. If there is any side play on the sector shaft against the housing, you may need to replace the steering gear. There has been some threads on this forum detailing how to adjust. Easiest way to access the gear adjustment is to remove the inner fender slash shield.
