Articulated steering feels loose or unresponsive
Inspect the connection points between the front and rear sections for any visible damage or loose components. Ensure no foreign materials are impeding the steering mechanism.
Wheels do not turn freely
Check the wheels for any obstructions, such as dirt or small stones lodged in the axle or tread. Clean the wheels and ensure they are properly aligned.
