Installing the RPM #73375 Heavy Duty Ball Ends was the first thing I did in my quest to eliminate the steering slop.
They tightened up the steering a whole bunch.
REAL tight = I used a little Powdered Graphite in each one & worked each cup around it's respective ball, tapped out the excess and that improved their function.
The best part = once these were installed it was easier to find the other steering slop issues.

I forgot to add this earlier:
I still had some servo buzz - very slight and not always, but sometimes. In GOOGLING the issue, I came up with two probable causes = 1) The servo is ng or 2) Something is binding in the linkage. Mine was #2.
I removed all of the linkage ball studs, chucked each one up in a Dremel and polished each one with 500 grit silicon carbide paper to removed the factory black coating and then reinstalled = no more buzz.
