Soft pedal after hard turns

Did you install the bearing races? Are you sure they are all bottomed in the bores?

I usually run my bearings just a hair loose, for a wee bit of knock-back. This helps in the fuel-economy runs. It doesn't seem to hurt the bearings cuz mine have over 130,000 miles on them.
But, my pedal doesn't sink as far as yours.
It originally went 1/2 way but when we tightened the wheel bearings, it did get a little better. The harder I turn the wheel or hang an exit ramp, the more pronounced the pedal drops is. Do you have any extra slop after a hard turn? Using KH style setup?
