Guys ano kaya problema.. kasi may play yung steering wheel ko.. pag inikot onti papuntang left from straight position.
parang 1inch yung play.. kanina pinaayos ko yung centerlink ko pero ganun pa rin.. ano kaya culprit?

baka preload adjustment ang kailangan niyan.
pero check mo din kung may play na ang rack ends o tie rod ends.

Either the tie-rod ends or bushings are worn out. Just have it inspected and replaced if needed.

first, since the subject vehicle is not properly identified, it is safe to assume that it has parallelogram type steering.
you mentioned centerlink that makes it not cross steer, not haltenberger, not rack and pinion, not centerpost type steering.
check your idler arm and pitman arm, or perform a dry park test (done with another person feeling the linkages for looseness while another person turns the steering wheel back and forth slightly)
