Default GS300 Steering Wheel Free Play or Sloppy

Hello all,

Looking for solution to fix steering wheel free play on my 2000 Lexus GS300.

On the video below, I am showing on how effortless to demonstrate the amount of free play or sloppiness with one finger.

As of now, I have already replaced the following parts:
- Daizen Steering rack bushings
- Daizen front swaybar bushings
- Upper control arm bushings
- Upper ball joint
- Lower ball joint
- Lower arm bushing (the big bushings)
- Inner tie rod
- Outer tie rod
- Intermediate shaft 2 (upper intermediate shaft)
- Recondition steering rack

Any solution to eliminate the steering wheel free play?

Problem solved by using zip ties at the end of shaft (near intermediate shaft no 2)
