Default 1989 F150 bad connection in steering column

Hey guys, I need help with this really annoying problem. My ignition cylinder seems to be sloppy, and turning the steering wheel or shutting the door or hitting any bumps will shut my ignition off while the truck is running. It doesn't just shut off the engine, but all accessories too. If I hold the key on while I'm driving, it won't happen. But once I take my hands off the key and hit a bump everything shuts off. I replaced the lock cylinder. What could cause this?

Bad ignition switch? Have you checked that yet?
