Try checking the mounting bolts for the Rack&Pinion unit. Did you replace the strut cartridges?or the entire assembly?Spring and all. If you only replaced cartridges,maybe the strut bearings on top are no good

Bouncing usually indicates a problem in the strut/spring assemblies. Are you sure the hardware used has been tightened properly and has not worked loose?
