There should be some movement but less than a millimetre from side to side at most. Have a look at the bearings in the ackerman link as one of them may of failed if a severe knock has happened.
The orange parts transform the steering and give a lot more turn in, I haven't used the original blue parts since I bought them. As far as I know they are only for stick pack converted cars but you could countersink the other side and flip them to use saddle packs.
