Binding help?

Hey everyone. Looking for some techie binding help.

I have a pair of Salomon S910s (a few years old) that are working great except for one thing. The shop adjusted them but couldn't get them to sit without a bit of play in my boot (back and forth). It's not my boots but something with the bindings. When I took them home, I did the standard adjusting (shop wasn't that helpful sigh) with the wings, top toe pressure, DIN, etc.

They seem to work fine (no problems) except when they take a big impact. After a big impact from a mogul, kicker, etc. the slipping occurs again. The DIN is already cranked to 10, and the adjustments seem ok. Is there something that I'm missing? Thoughts? Really don't want to replace the bindings.

that happend a lot with my s810s, so i wouldnt recomend salomon bindings i think they suck but the way i fixed mine was to just carry a small 2 inch long screw driver and tighten the wings each time they loosend up, seemed to fix it

no. just no. Why waste your money on another pair of salomons? Get some Looks/Rossis.

Use some Loctite on the toe adjustment screw threads.
