Default Wheel play and noisy rear suspension

So my EG has way to much wheel play to feel safe to me. Since it is an Si should I just convert it to manual steering and if so what part's are needed. Also the rear suspension is rather noisy over bumps, could this be due to bad Rear upper control arm bushing's since the suspension is all new(springs and shocks).

some aftermarket suspensions just make noise...thats just the way they are... could be not enough lube between bushings and bolts. something absurdly loose is usually a knocking/ clunking noise and as far as the wheel play...it could be alot of things...performance tires follow grooves like disciples to jesus... coupled w/ a misaligned suspension results in crappy movement...so jus check it out and be on your merry way
