slack in steering

About a year ago i put a 1 inch drop on my 300zx turbo. I put suspension technique springs and tokiko illumna 5 way adjustable struts. Ever since i have had the drop on it there has been a considerable amount of slack in the steering and also the back end seems like it is steering with the car..(hard to explain but the back end seems to move as like it is going to break loose and drift but just has slack in it). I like the way it is low and how it can take the curves but not how it has slack. I have not gotten it aligned and it still has toe out but that is not going to help with the slack, have any suggestions?

I suggest you go get an alignment before asking any more about steering issues. Yes. Alignment problems can give you the issues you are having.

ok will do, but i know alignment usually just makes a car pull to the right/left, i didnt think it had anything to do with slack at all nor my problems with the rear end, but yes definately need an alignment ,will do
