there is a bolt on the topside front of the steering box, remove it and theres a flathead screw inside "its hard to see", I believe its a standard thread "turn clockwise to tighten the steering" turn 2 turns and check " car does not need to be running since your only checking play" make sure to replace the bolt before starting car as theres allot of pressure here when the pump is turning "fluid will go everywhere"

Steering boxes can be tricky to adjust. Takeit to a garage or dealer.
There is no adjustment.
The steering box is not meant to be adjusted. This is dangerous as it can lock up unpredictably. If it is worn out get a replacement.
You should NEVER have to adjust a new gear box. You have other front end problems that are worn out.
Yes it will.
worn suspension bushings or steering box. check the idler arms first
Look by the steering column at the firewall
You don't, because an XF Falcon doesn't have rack and pinion steering. It has a steering box.
The 94 Thunderbird does not have a steering box, it has Rack and Pinion steering and most likely your tie rods are shot. The T-Bird has and extremely sharp turning radius and is known for being hard on steering components .
The adjustment is on top of the steering box. Loosen the locking nut then tighten the bolt lightly. Over tightening will cause the box to be too tight.
It could be worn tie rod ends, if not then you need to check the steering box. The worm gear could be worn and you can adjust it with the nut on the steering box.
