How do you adjust steering free play on a 1994 mack truck?
The steering free play doesn't adjust.. if you have free play in your steering, you have a component worn out somewhere, and it needs to be replaced. Check the u-bolts on the steering column, check the drag link, tie rods, pitman arm, and spring pins for slack, check the steering pump and gearbox, determine which is the faulty component, and repair or replace it.

How do you adjust the excess play in the steering wheel from the steering gear box?
I just looked this up online and found a pretty good website. Although I havnt tried to do it yet on my own corvette I probably will within the hour http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ar_1962_corvette/article/0,,DIY_13704_2278440,00.HTML this is the URL as well as some of the directions from the sitethe next step in this restoration is to adjust the Corvette's steering using the steering-box located underneath the hood. An earlier test-drive revealed that the steering wheel exhibited some play during driving. Since the other steering components have been checked and found to be in good shape, the play may be due to wear in the gears inside the steering box.The Corvette's steering box permits adjustment of these gears, which may well solve the steering problem. Adjustment of the steering requires two people, but the job can be done in just a few minutes.The steering box is unlocked using an open-end wrench and a screwdriver extended through a factory hole in the fiberglass body. To adjust the steering, unlock the nut with about a quarter-turn, then adjust the steering using a slotted screwdriver (figure H).As one person sits in the drivers seat and turns the steering wheel in slight increments, another person can adjust the steering (figure I) until the excess play is removed.Important: Avoid over-tightening the steering-box mechanism, as this may cause binding of the steering.
