Summary of Issue

I have attached a video that shows a very loose steering component. However, I'm not sure it falls under the current guidance in the OOS criteria.

Justification or Need

You will see in the video how loose it is however, it is not a ball and socket or a knuckle so it isn't really covered under 393.209. I think it could possibly be placed OOS using 396.3.

Request for Action

Please look at this and give guidance to the field on how to proceed with a violation such as this.
