Play in the steering mechanism can be eliminated by adjustment, if the wear of the steering gear rack is still small.
Set wheels straight ahead.
Ask an assistant to turn the steering wheel slightly from the middle position to one side and the other - knocking or rattling is heard.
At this time, slowly and carefully turn the adjusting bolt (bottom illustration) clockwise (screw), until the crackle disappears.
Carry out a test drive: the steering in any position should not be heavy, much less seize. It should return to the straight ahead position on its own.
If this does not happen, loosen the bolt by 15°and test again.
Check again if necessary.
If there is still play in the steering in the straight driving position, the steering gear should be replaced.
