Iv'e noticed that there is a bit of slop in the front end, it seems to be coming from the steering plate, it almost seems like its supposed to be this way, is this right? cause its driving me nutz. if you look at the picture its right where the plate connects to the servo saver, its sloppy on both sides

Yes they all have a small ammount of free play there, the bolt has a shoulder. If it was fully tight then the steering would not turn.

Thanks for the reply, i actually ended up taking it apĂ*rt enough to tighten that plate a little, i figured there needed to be some play there but it was a bit excessive, i unhooked the st servo so i could feel the tension better as i tightened the plate, feels great now
