I've learned it's nearly impossible to defeat slop with a single change. I'e come to learn that it's like a virus. Often, when the effects are known, it's due to multiple points of failure.
Tonight I drastically reduced slop by changing a screw. It was a screw going in to a pivot ball in to the spindle arm of an alum steering knuckle. The screw had a lot of play in the knuckle.
It wasn't the knuckle, it wasn't the pivot ball, it wasn't the rod end, it was the screw itself.
I assume either threw maintenance and/or wear and tear, it lost some meat. All I know is it fixed this point of failure which happened to be the most flagrant in this instance.
Slop is gone and I'm once again rolling correct.
