Replace tie-rods and get an alignment to make sure the caster is set correctly.

what do you mean it feels loose? do you mean you have a lot of steering lash? your rack might be worn out..an idea

yup but if its not actually to much play, the steering is just lighter then it was before Then your caster might be off, Did you get an alignment after you put them on?

Don't forget to check rack bushings.. Phase2 sells nismo units and they are a viable upgrade over old worn oem bushes
