this steering gear adjustment will not help . the gear teeth are worn. usually water enters and the fluid begins to eat at the metal. fluid needs replaceing every 7 years under normal use.
when this occurs many try the adjustment which leads to more wear and sloppy steering.
replacing with a rebuilt unit is not a good idea. these have worn metal teeth and they just replace the seals.
scrap yard steering gear that will work with your vehicle is best bet.
new gears are expensive
