Correct answer
C. A deterioration in the steerability and stability of the vehicle.
Explanation
The question is about a symptom of excessive total play in the steering system. It is worse steerability and stability of the vehicle - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act requires a vehicle to ensure easy and reliable use of the steering device, and the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles requires the steering system to allow an easy, quick and reliable change of direction. Large play means that the wheels react to the movement of the steering wheel with a delay, the bus "wanders" in the lane, and on bumps and in a side wind it is hard to keep your path. Automatic return of the wheels to the central position (answer A) is a normal effect resulting from the suspension geometry. The absence of vibrations in the front suspension (answer B) also shows good condition. You must not drive with excessive play in the steering system.
