they make steering shims and hinge pin shims. both made by team fast eddy. also may need to replace the plastic rod ends as they wear and cause slop
 
also check your metal braces in front and rear that the hinge pin slides thru as the holes will wear out and cuase slop as well
 
Steve.I take it your talking about the ball ends in the front? If so,there is no fix on the alloy arms.KM alloy fronts are garbage and you will always get play in them
Sling them and buy decent ones or RPMs if you want plastic.

well can be just the km,but i have used hpi parts and still had slop, so it could be just the design in general, steering slop i can tell you it's from the steering crank,and the arm slop is from the hinges,shims,washers what ever you can use to tighten it up, the steering crank also needs some shimming to get it tight
 
making shims

if yu make them, brass or copper would be a good idea cos its soft so should prolong the life of installation. hope this helps, good luck. ps i noticed mine are the same especially the rear end. mines a hpi and they are sloppy to but this could be for the reason being if yu crash theres a bit of give so you don't brake wishbones maybe
