Soft pedal after hard turns

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?
I do not run them THAT loose, lol.
IIRC the spec is .001 to .003 end play. It's just enough that it closes in on Zero when the bearings get warm.
I think the last time I adjusted them I set them to not more than .007, it depends on if I can get the locking-parts to line up with a cotter-pin hole.
And I use top-quality grease, no gun-grease here.

If yur bearings can't hold the adjustment, something is wrong, attend to it ASAP.

EDIT
I checked and the endplay is actually ZERO to .003.
The procedure is to tighten to 90 inchpounds while rotating the disc; then back off by one slot, and slip the cotter pin in..
