Default Steering Question

I bought another XJ a few days ago and its all over the road. It has about 6-8"s of play in the steering. I notice that the front tie rod twists when you steer back a forth. Someone on here told me to clock the steering and that will fix it. I have no clue what is he talking about? Can you all help me or if he reads this can you explain what you mean?
Thanks
