Default OK, the mystery of my loose steering wheel

Ok, so this is what happened. After i had my sway bars front and back put in, my wheel felt a lot looser than before. Basically, whenever i'm on patchy or rough roads, the wheel jerks left and right, it's just not stiff u know? There doesnt feel to be much resistence. I recently drove my friend's stock tC and his wheel was stiff. There was a still a little of that when the wheel kinda moves but not nearly as exagerated as mine. So they tell me that puttin the sway bars in has nothing to do with the steering racket or cradle bolts, so they didn't bother looking at them. What i wanna know is, when u put the frotn bar in, do u really have to mess with that stuff, cuz they might be lying. If it isn't because of the sway bars what could the problem be?

Well you're changing the front suspension... which kind of indirectly relates to the steering. I'd just go back through and make sure everything is tightened.
