When I was a kid, just learning to drive, and didn't know any better, I used to drive our old Ford Econoline van. It had about 180 degrees of steering wheel slop. I called it "bump steering". 180 left, bump, 180 right, bump, and so it goes. Things would get exciting when you hit an unexpected pot hole and the front wheels would jump half a wheel turn on their own. Nowadays I would be skeered to drive the thing, but it all seemed quite normal at the time. Too soon old and too late smart I guess.
