1985 GS Steering Issue

The non power steering in my GS is a bit loose. There is a little play in the wheel, and I suspect it is just from age, but I was wondering if anyone knew if this was common or a good place to start looking to repair it.

Very, very, very common problem. The issue is the steering box. I believe there is an adjustment procedure in the 1st gen FAQ which can adjust most of the slop out. But even brand new, the recirculating ball steering box was pretty loose.
