There is some play in the steering of my '98 Blazer. Is there a way to tighten it? In previous cars I've had, there was a tightening screw on the steering box, but I couldn't seem to find it on the Blazer.

Thanks.

Steering gear mounted to frame adjustment nut and screw are on the top of the box, loosen the nut to tighten the screw, but just a little at a time.
