You can adjust the steering gear box. There is a nut on the top of it with an allen key adjuster in the center of it. Also check the paper bushing at the steering shaft near the steering gear box. Those may not be the actual issue though. Need to check all the tie rod ends and ball joints, the idler arm, and such. Many of factors to what could cause the play. I would start with the steering components and move to the steering gear box if everything is tight.
