Default Mushy steering after engine swap?

I have a 96 integra that sat for about 7 months and i recently did an engine swap on it... B20.

The steering seems to be mushy.. And when i hit bumps it feels like its hitting harsher...
Ive already flushed the power steering fluid and checked all of the undercarriage for looseness in the tie rods and everything.

I know its not normal.... what the hell could it be?

mine was like that, I ended up having to replace the front lower control arm bushings, upper ball joint, and get an alignment...but going to tires plus and having them attempt to align my lowered car has proven to be worthless, 4 tries and they still can't get it right, I keep telling them to just make the camber even in the front even if its not to spec, nope passenger side is always more positive.
