I recently did a H/C swap on my car and had all of the pwr steering out except for rack. When I got everything back together I bled the system and it had some extra slop in than it did before. So I bled it again and it's still there. Any ideas what may be wrong? There isn't any extra noise coming from the pump.
I will admit when I started the car for the first time I forgot to fill the system up and it ran for about a minute or two before I shut it off and filled it. Could that have caused something to effect this?

Have you given it a rest to let the air work its way out of the system? Did you put the front end on jacks and move the steering side to side to work out any air?

Well the car sat for a week after noticing it, once I got time I lifted the front end and bled it that way as well and it didn't seem to change. I haven't had an opportunity to mess with it for a while now because I'm waiting on the new rear to come in and get it on the ground

I figured since I finally got this figured out I would go ahead and update just in case someone else had this problem. After searching through a bunch of threads I found someone suggest this same fix and it worked!
Whenever I reinstalled the steering arm the lower bolt that secures the arm to the rack wasn't tight enough. It was tight but still allowed for some slop. So I cranked it down as far as it would go and BOOM! Fixed the problem. It was a super easy fix so I was happy. So if you have that issue check that before throwing parts at it.
