1995 Honda Civic - PROBLEM in steering
Current setup:
Eibach sportline
Just aligned at the tire shop
Tokico Blues
Stock size tire and rims
Steering Rack (Power)
Here's the problem, everytime I am at a stand still and move the wheel left and right, it feels like the steering column is clanking. Same thing when going over a small bump not big bumps (it isn't as noticeable) but small bumps, I can feel the steering column clank and it makes steering feel lose at high speeds especially on the freeway.
Anyone have a clue?

Inners will absolutely cause that if they're worn. I just replaced mine last week.
Jack your front wheels up and and try to wiggle them back and forth. If they wiggle, it's your inner tie rod ends since your outers are new.
They are only $15 shipped each from http://www.rockauto.com Inspect your rubber steering rack boot that covers them before ordering, so you can order a new one(s) if you need to. Make sure to pack the boot with grease before reinstalling.
And get an alignment when you're done

Good Info, Lets say that the wheel does not move side to side easily with your hand when the car is lifted. Could the rack and pinion also cause this?
