Its supposed to do that. Its called backlash. Now, it might be a little excessive but its supposed to have some.

maan this sounds real bad i hope its not that drastic good luck with the resto hope everything goes well, gonna wait till i have a month off in december so i can look at it and restore my broken door handle and speaker panels
gonna have my buddy check it out hes been through countless 5.0's
