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.

How do you adjust a Corvair manual steering gear box when replacing the bushings and seals?
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.
