If it does you need to remove shims to reduce the play to zero, but not so much to make it tight.
Then look at the mesh between the roller and the worm. loosen the locknut and with the steering disconnected ideally turn the steering back and forth past the central position feeling for tightness in the middle. carefully turn the screw in until the tightness begins to be felt, and back it off just enough to stop the tightness.
Lock it up and all should be good.
There may be other ways to do the job but this is the way I have tended to do it.
