Except these wont take out the slop everyone has which is you can move the handlbars 1/2"-1" before the skis turn. The steering column is nice and tight on every 4 stroke I owned, it was all the helm joints and stuff that give the slop.

These parts are engineered to eliminate the slop that is inherent in higher mileage sleds in the steering shaft component. If the remainder of parts are worn, you are correct, there will still be slop. That only stands to reason.

These parts also give a much smoother feel in the rotation of the steering shaft components, as well as eliminating squeaking and binding without lubrication.
