dude thats a real problem.....i might have changed a different type of steering last year but.......that thing should be tight with very little slop.......hard to tell ya whats wrong without seeing it. when u changed cables last year did u change the steering coloumn also? if not that may be your problem. hope someone can help ya just my 2 cents when i changed mine last year it came as a new cable and rack and steering column the whole shooting match.
