No that's excessive.

Adjust the steering box. There's a spec for how much play is acceptable but it's not very much.

There's a procedure based on preload to know when the box is tight enough - it's tighter than most people think.

There are other sources for play like flogged ball joints etc but odds are it's the steering box.

Once you run out of adjustment, they are a throw away item - there's no procedure for a rebuild.
