| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While the vehicle is in motion the steering is very loose. You can move the steering wheel left and right about 4 inches in play and the wheels never turn at all. This makes drifting, especially at high speeds, a huge safety risk. You must overcorrect the wheel in order to stay in your lane while driving. The caster nut and gear box nut seem to come from the factory extremely loose causing this potentially life threatening safety hazard. |
