Steering Free Play??

Hi All,


Please can you look at the videos and tell me if your sedan is the same?
There seems to be a loose feel / free play of about 10 - 20 degrees where the steering wheel feels 'Loose' like not connected with the steering, like worn bushes.
You can see in the videos when driving straight, how much i can move the steering wheel without any movement of the car.
The second video when parked, you can here the knock from the steering Colum where the 'looseness' is.


PS Sorry videos rotated, no idea how to fix this.
