loose steering

I have lots of play in the steering wheel. Anyone know if it is possible to tighten the steering? This is on a 92 Explorer.

you have a recirculating ball steering gear box and not rack and pinion I believe. Its sometimes possible to tighten at the steering box, but I think you've probably got worn out ball joints or some other component(ie tie rods) that need replacing.

I had my lower ball joints replaced about 6 months ago, I guess now its time to replace more parts. Thanks for the help!
