Hi Bill,
Yes you can adjust the play in the rack by taking the shims from under the
adjusting nut. What this does is to push the rack teeth further into mesh
with the pinion. However it must be remembered that racks almost always wear
in the centre and if you carry out this adjusting operation in the centre
you will probably find things locking up at the ends ( full lock ).
There is a proceedure for doing this detailed in the Manual, if you cannot
access it let me know.
Another source of wear is the ball joints at each end of the rack and you
can inspect these by removing the rubber bellows.
If you are not experiencing problems with your steering I would leave things
untouched.
