Hi i have just bought a Logitech g29 Driving Force steering wheel with all the bits that go with it ,it is brand new ,but i am not if i have a problem as it works really well but there seems to b a lot of play as in up and down and side to side compared to the same wheel i am replacing ,so does any one know if the side play is normal as it rattles when shaken ,Brian.

Did you calibrate your new wheel ?
1- In the Logitech third party software
2- in the game itself

Did you take a look at the Logitech Profiler and adapt the wheel forces !?

Before my Thrustmaster TS-PC Racer, I was using yours and It was perfect !

Cheers ! ;-)

Hi its not the steering causing a problem its the amount of free play as in if you grab the wheel theres a lot of movement not turning movement ,but movement that you find in an old car with worn out bearings , and the one i am replacing is old and the same model but has none of the movement that the brand new one has ,so i will take it back to argos and compare to another new one of the same model ,but thanks

a little side to side play is normal (about a mm) but up and down not so much. There is a video on youtube where a guy repairs his for the exact same reason.
