I remember seeing rebuild kits.......but they were just seals and gaskets. I did one of those for my old 81 F250. But if it is getting loose (shake your steering wheel) I believe your only option would be to purchase a rebuilt unit. Gears and or bearings are going to be worn if its loose.
If you grab the pitman arm and shake it does it have any play at all? Its more common for the Hydraulics in them to just stop working.

actually it is called a gear box not a steering box if you go to an automotive store you will hear it called a gear box. and i do not believe they are adjustable you would be better to go and get a reman. unit and most of them now have a lifetime warranty on it so you wont have to buy another one again.

With a high miles box, it is often not possible to adjust the on-center slop away without making it bind severely while turning. That's because most of the wear occurs on or near the "straight ahead" position. It doesn't cost anything to give a try but a replacement box is probably the real solution.
