There isn't much you can do. You'll just need to get used to the change. Going from a traditional steering system to a rack and pinion can take some getting used to. The rack and pinion is a much tighter system and you will eventually come to like it more. There's a reason they did away with pitman arms and drag links.

I don't think I've heard that complaint before. I had an 06 and didn't notice anything unusual with the steering.
What kind of tires are you running? How are they wearing? Have you had your alignment checked?
