Been there done that

I bought new Nissan bushings ($100). Did the same thing. Did you rebuild your suspension, i.e. new ball joints, tie rod ends? I had completely rebuilt the front end, shocks, bushings etc. Unfortunately my 85T is not running (2 years). So I can't remember if it went away or not. I think it did. And I attributed the slippage to stiff new parts causing the rack to move no matter how tight I tightened the clamps. I also thought there might be a slight difference in the diameter of the rebuilt rack I purchased but I had returned the old core (original rack) so I couldn't check to see. Sorry if this is no help but I do believe the slippage subsided with breaking in. But it sure was an uncomfortable feeling.
