Hey Billy when you say slop was it noticble when the key was out and the wheel was in the locked position? Or when you go to turn the wheel was there a small amount of movement in the wheel before you start to get tension in the wheel and start to move the direction you steered?

Up/down slop because the bearing wasn't tight. Not side to side. That is nice and tight with the Maximum Motorsports steering shaft, all new tie rods, and Maximum Motorsports rack mount bushings on the 2004 steering rack.

I have the same setup but with a flaming river manual rack. For some reason my wheel has some play in it. It happens both with the wheel in the locked position and while driving. Basically you can turn the wheel a 1/2" inch or so either direction before you get resistance from the rack or the steering wheel lock. Thought maybe this might be my problem.

Even before I replaced the bearing, if the steering wheel was "locked" with the key out it was locked solid, no movement. Once I unlocked it with the key I could move the column up and down slightly. It's easy to change and the bearing is only $20. It's worth a try.

what is the difference in the 2004 rack? I know you have to use the fox tie rods but as far as the rack itself is it a lot tighter? more responsive?

Also requires a hybrid steering shaft.
Here is some good info on the SN95 rack swap

Todd have you tried tightening the two star pattern bolts underneath the steering column trim, behind the steering wheel? That's a common area where th steering wheel gets loose. BTW, did you move?
