Default 1999 ford ranger 2.5 slack in steering

I have a 1999 ford ranger 2.5 with slack in steering. Is there an adjustment screw to these rack and pinion steering racks? I have looked everywhere for the adjustment screw and cannot find it.

Just a thought, might the little u joint be wearing out?
sub'd, i'd like to hear if there is an adjustment for rack & pinions.

I'll be interested in this as well. In the oder steering boxes there was just such an adjustment, not sure if that still applies or not

I would check for a worn out idler arm and tie rod ends first along with the steering shaft u-joint.Also check the ball joints if the steering wheel is not centering when driving.
