Sloppy steering

Good morning and happy New Years!

I recently replaced my front diff, diff and pinion bearings and seals, hubs, vacuum seals, locking hubs, knuckle ball joints, drag link, drag link adjusting sleeve, LH and RH inner and outer tie rods, steering damper, and center link on my 2015 F-350 4WD SRW truck. Everything was Motorcraft except for the knuckle ball joints which were Moog. I then had the truck professionally aligned. Prior to this my steering was tight. Now it is not. I am constantly making slight adjustments at highway speeds. What did I do or not do to get this sloppy steering? How do I fix it? Thank you!

that happened to me on my 2001 f250, what I did was tightened the ball joints wrong. there is a sequence to follow I had to loosen them up tightened them the proper way and it fixed the problem for me
