You need to find out if the play is coming from the gear box, or the lower steering link, the u joints in the steering link go bad and cause alot of play, if its the gear box, there is an adjustment on the top of the steering box, only tighten it a tiny bit, if you over tighten it, it will be very tough to steer.
