Welcome to the site.

Are you trying to get the slop out of the steering. There is a way to go about it but i think you will have to find the specs. for it first. They only have so much adjustment in them, and if it's not done right I think it will bind up. I know that's not much help, but sometimes after you get one post others will jump in.
It might have a screw on the box with a lock nut, that is the adjustment loosen nut turn screw until play is gone, back off a tad and tighten nut.

I don't know if you got that last sentence, but do you have a screw with a lock nut on it, on the box, if so that is your only adjustment for that other wise you will have to get a different box. And that can be a pain to change. If I may ask, what are you doing. restoring a car or building a rod?
