There's a preload adjustment on the rack right under where the steering shaft goes in. I never tried to reset those because normally if there's excessive play there, it's because something is coming apart, but if you're going to replace the assembly anyway, you might consider removing that cap to see what you can do. There's usually a nut that's staked in the middle to lock it in place, but there may also be a threaded collar around it that can be turned.
