Assuming the coupler is tight where the steering shaft meets the gear box, you will see a jamb nut and screw slot on a bolt at the top center of the box itself. Loosen the jamb nut and turn the screw a quarter turn clockwise and tighten jamb nut. If it feels the same, I would look at tie rods and idler arm for play.
Thanks! I've seen this adjustment by that screw on a jeep and wasn't sure if it would be the same on the Cadillac. I will try this out and go from there. Tie rods and idler arms have been replaced a couple of years ago. I am sure I can see the steering 'axle' turn before the steering housing without resulting action within the play movement. That is why I presume the play is within the steering housing.
