Since Jeep began they have used outside vendors for this type of part. Most jeeps have GM steering colums and gerars. If it is a GM steering box: Turn the steering wheel to the center position and loosin the nut on top of gearbox ( there will be a bolt with a stright slot scredriver head sticking up that this nut hold in place) using your hand on the steering shaft turn the bolt clockwise while rocking the shaft right and left and you will notice the play reduce. DO NOT TURN THIS BOLT MORE THAN 1/4 TURN AT A TIME AND NEVER FORCE THIS BOLT TO TURN. After you have reduced most of the slack tighten the nut and start the engine and test the slack in the steering wheel. This is a shade tree adjustment and you may have to play with it a few times and with a jeep of this year you will never get all the play out but it will help a lot. If you over tighten this bolt you will feel a tight spot in the center position of the steering wheel while driving and may need to back off the bolt a little. Make a mental note of the position of the screw driver before you start this because if the gearbox is shot this adjustment will not work and you will want to put it back where it was and and find a replacement steering box. Good luck

It should be on the power steering pump itself. If memory serves me correctly the pump is mounted on the right side of the engine in which case puts it next to the fire wall. This of course coming from a guy that suffers from C.R.S.
