Depending on the year, yes. Release the outer lock nut, tighten the inner screw but not too tight, in fact you might want to back it off enough that the bearings don't bind, maybe a 1/4 or 1/8 turn. Then tighten the lock nut again. But generally loose steering is caused by loose tie rod ends or pitman arms.
no it does not,its power steering with a gear box
First, adjust the worm and gear while the steering gear box is on the bench. Attempt to remove excess movement in both gears without making the input shaft (worm gear) too stiff to turn with your fingers. If the gears were worn prior to the re-bushing, you will probably notice that the movement becomes stiff on, or near, center. Once you are happy with the feel, install the gearbox and fine tune it by removing the rubber plug in the trunk area to reach the top of the box. Loosen the jamb nut and turn the screw a quarter of a turn at a time, retighten the jamb nut each tiime. DO NOT drive the car on the road unless you are sure that the steering can turn freely lock to lock, and return to center automatically when the car is rolling.
could be several places, power steering hose, rack and pinion (or steering gear box) or power steering pump.
Worm gear and rack and pinion.
There is a switch on the right side of the steering column that turns the O/D on and off. Make sure you have O/D enabled via this switch, as it's very possible that it is turned off.

Steering boxes can be tricky to adjust. Takeit to a garage or dealer.
You should NEVER have to adjust a new gear box. You have other front end problems that are worn out.
If the gearbox is causing freeplay in the steering wheel, then the gearbox needs to be replaced.
the steering gear box is usually the culprit, and it is adjustable. first, make sure the front end is tight. check the ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm. if all is tight, adjust the gear box.
Should be a removable panel under steering column. where adjusting screw is located Place gear shift in neutral to adjust
either rebuild or replace gearbox.
At the steering pump. There are 4 bolts to loosen, if I remember correctly. Then one at the bottom near the steering gear to adjust the tension.
what is variable gear ratio steering steering system?
Yes, there is a steering gear that can be called a gear box.Yes, there is a steering gear that can be called a gear box.
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.
The problem is probably in the steering gear. Clogged passages in steering gear. Leaks in steering gear.
