There's no adjustment I'm afraid. There should be the tiniest amount of play but it should not be felt by testing as you have with the wheel on.

See the relevant How To guide via bigjimny.com, Information, How To Guides. I can't seem to get to it on my phone with fat fingers to link it for you.

At 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock, it is more likely to be kingpin bearing wear, get someone to put their foot on the brake, and if the play is still there it is kingpins.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
