There's also a gear-slop-taker-upper adjustment you can make on top of the steering gear box (pert near everything japanese has this adjustment)

There is a stud with a slot in the top and a jamnut on top of the steering gear box. Lossen the jamb nut while holding the position of the stud intact. Turn the stud clockwise (driving it further into gear box) and retighten jamb nut.

I find it best to get most of the weight off the front tires first, not all but most, so that steering effort is very light. Go slow, maybe half a turn at atime then recheck steering wheel play. I turn steering wheel while eyeballing movement of the front tires.

Over adjusting slop stud doohickey is bad. Be gentle Grasshoppah.
