If the backlash did not arise as a result of a defect, then it can be adjusted, but it is better to do this in the workshop.
1. Put the wheels straight.
2. Through the open window, grab the steering wheel and rotate it at a small angle either in one direction or the other.
3. The front wheel should move in accordance with the turn of the steering wheel. Look at the rim as elastic tires absorb some of the wheel's movement.
4. If there is no play in the steering mechanism when the steering wheel is in a straight line, and when the steering wheel is turned strongly, the mechanism sticks, then the gear rack is worn out. In this case, the steering gear must be replaced.
