Default Re: How much free play on your steering wheel?

I have a few curves around home and gave it whirl. The steering is tight even in the turns.
Yep, exactly. I didn't aware of it before. I just know sometimes the play is big, sometimes is small. Now I know.. haha.. But when my steering is at center, the play is minimal, but still some, little bit. Thanks.
