What causes excessive steering wheel play?

Excessive steering wheel play is often caused by wear and tear in the steering system components, such as the steering rack, tie rods, or bushings. Loose or damaged parts can lead to increased clearance, resulting in a lack of precise steering response. Additionally, issues with the Power Steering system, such as low fluid levels or pump failure, can contribute to this problem. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to ensure proper steering function.
