However, I am having one issue with the pedals I would like to resolve. The left foot stays in one place fairly well. The right foot will rotate slightly from side to side as I pedal. There seems to be more resistance against the spring on the left foot. I tightened up the screws on the right shoe but it didn't it change.

First, are you absolutely, positively sure your right foot didn't do this with the Shimanos? Did you have somebody ride behind you and watch you pedal? The foot rotation may have only surfaced because of the additional float provided by the Speedplays.

You may have a biomechanical problem. That can include, but not be limited to, problems related to: different leg lengths, knee tracking, hip/ankle flexion/extension, previous injury, pronation, supination, strength differences, ingrown toenails... pretty much infinite combinations.

If it affects your riding, about the only thing you can do is see a REALLY good orthopedist, preferably one who is a cyclist and understands cyclist's needs and wants. S/he can then prescribe the appropriate fixes to alleviate the problem.

If all you're having is a "slight rotation from side to side", whatever that may mean, and it doesn't bother you physically, then maybe just go out and ride. Remember though, you may be doing long term damage. Even if it doesn't hurt today or tomorrow, don't discount next year.

Then again, you may have pedal/cleat that was made on a Monday morning.
