Before doing any adjustment on the steering box, thoroughly read -  and  
re-read - the section on adjustments and torque adjustments. The  procedure  
must be 
followed exactly as described in order to remove  the play, but  allow proper 
movement inside the box. Little bits of  adjustments mean a  lot.

In other words, don't just tighten the screw adjustment accessible through  
the trunk.  Chevrolet didn't recommend it for a good reason.  If the  tie rod 
ends, pittman arm bushing and idler arm are all tight and the steering  is 
still loose then do the step by step steering box adjustment specified in the  
manual. And give yourself a couple of hours to do it right (count the turns  on 
the steering wheel, be sure the wheel is centered at the mid point  etc.).  
Otherwise you will have a damaged or ruined steering box.
