Good morning Hunter.

, do they have any influence on the amount of steering wheel play (left to right) that one has?
Yes that's right! If too much shims / gaskets laying between the lower bearing cover, the worm moves up and down with the steering shaft.

You can see that well. If you stand on the outside next to the steering wheel and quickly turn the steering wheel right and left. If there are too much shims, you can see that the steering wheel is moving up and down a little.
I have adjusted the new worm gear just a little tight, so that the steering wheel feels a touch of resistance.

The total steering play on the outer radius is just under an inch.
