Just sold a gas coach, not long ago and with one of the people who came to look at it, insisted that it had play in the steering wheel, which was not the case at all.....
There is play due to loose parts or excessive wear.....which tends to show up at ALL speeds, even 0 MPH, and then there is "wandering" or not maintaining a track.
Most people who have never driven big straight trucks and vans will characterize both conditions as "loose steering" or "play".
The second situation, that of wandering at speed is most often caused by improper inflation, improper alignment, improper loading and in some cases even the tread pattern.
