Explanation

Pronounced wear of the gears in the steering rack and of the tie rod ends can lead to excessive play in the steering wheel. If the gears of the steering rack wear out, excessive spaces appear between the teeth, which delays the transmission of movement to the wheels and reduces steering precision. At the same time, wear of the tie rod ends creates additional play in their joints, which can lead to uncontrolled wheel oscillations and an imprecise steering wheel, requiring frequent corrections. These problems affect the safety and control of the vehicle, being frequent causes of excessive steering wheel play.

The correct answer is: B and C
