Default Steering feels loose on freeway

Anytime I jump on the freeway with my DC2, my steering feels really loose after 60ish mph. Like I'll enter a turn and there's about maybe a half an inch of travel on my steering wheel before the car starts turning.

Is this normal?

I would look at the power steering system.

Did you mean you replaced the steering rack and tie rods, or did you also replace the steering column? This happened to me as well and I believe the steering rack was replaced. Looks like it is happening on my new integra as well...
