When you say loose, as in play in the steering wheel, or just not tracking right and following the grooves in the road? Who installed the lift, you or a shop?
You can't go wrong with either, but with EG, you get green. With HPR depending on light conditions, it can be almost red, burnt orange, or bright orange. I love EG, but it was HPR for me, it's less common around here and it just stands out more.
I feel your pain, mine went through a hail storm 3 days after signing papers. My hail stones weren't to the size of yours, nor was the damage. I had 108 total dents, approx 80 of them were in the hood, every panel was dented except the passenger rear door. PDR repair took a week and the bill was...
No, the amp is bolted to the bracket and the bracket is bolted to the 2 supports that it's sitting on, you can see the fender washers and nuts in the pic.
The 200.4 is just bolted to the metal plate under the steering wheel and for the 500.1, I cut a piece of 1/4" abs big enough to sit on top of the supports above the glove box and bolted the 500.1 to the abs panel. Pics are kinda hard to get of them in place, but here is what I could get.
It is for push/pull, but if not tight, could allow the slop in the steering you describe. I understand the tech said everything is tight, but it is possible that he didn't check that one bolt. It's real easy to check, have someone turn the wheel back and forth and see if the slop is there. I...
I believe you have to pull the steering shaft apart to install those UCAs, I would definitely take a look at that slip joint in the steering column and make sure the bolt is tight and reconnected correctly. That could make for a horror show if it popped out going down the highway.
My bronco was caught in a hail storm 3 days after picking it up, my PDR guy had to repair every panel except the left rear door, I think the final total was 108. He didn't mention any problems with access and he even repaired dents with no access to the back side such as the panel above the...
I have a set similar to this, they're great, put them on the stud where the threads are still good and then thread them off. Never have to worry about being crooked when making a repair.

I can't answer anything but, if you changed suspension, you need an alignment. As to what the UCA is supposed to look like with a leveling kit, I can't say, but it will definitely be angled more than it was.
Are both you and your buddies broncos the same door and engine configuration?
