If you've tried to adjust the play out of the extremes of you're steering box you're well on the way to destroying it irreparably. The box can only be adjusted on the high spot in the centre of the worm. It is supposed to be done by using a spring balance, but in practice can be done with the wheels off the ground, providing the ball joints are in good condition.

You won't feel the adjustment on the steering wheel, the leverage is far too great, do it bu holding the steering shaft. You should just be able to feel the drag of the high spot, any tighter than that and the life expectancy of the steering box is litteraly in the hundreds of miles!
