Correct answer
it becomes abnormally stiff or develops excessive play.
Abnormal stiffness or excessive play in the steering requires professional inspection. It may indicate a fault in the assistance or other components, but the symptom alone cannot diagnose it. If it occurs while moving, reduce speed and stop somewhere safe; if the vehicle cannot be controlled safely, seek assistance to transport it rather than driving to a garage. Do not test the steering by releasing the wheel while driving.
