Answering my own post..
The tension adjustment is the one which faces toward the back of the car with a funky lock washer/nut and a 22mm hex "nut". The effect seems to be how much resistance turning the steering wheel get's from rack. The bottom domed cover hides the nut which is at the bottom of the shaft that the steering wheel attaches to. If that came loose, there would be play in that shaft. Mine was tight. I don't think that would cause radial play though.
From checking the tightness of it however, I could see directly up into the bottom of the universal joint from the steering column and lo and behold, I could see slop in there that I couldn't see from above. I'm suspecting that's my problem.
