Play in steering whel.
 

My 96GT has some play in the steering. Is there a simple way to adjust the play out of the steering?

When I had a lot of play in my steering it turned out that the rubber rag joint in the factory steering shaft was giving out. You might want to check it on yours - you'll have to have someone under the car and someone behind the wheel to see if that's where your problem is. I replaced mine with a Borgesen shaft with steel needle-bearing U-joints.
Another thing that could cause excessive play is a damaged or worn steering rack.
