Backstory: Three weeks ago, I bought an used G27 in seemingly perfect condition.
Unfortunately, a problem developed about two weeks ago. I tried playing WRC: Rally Evolved on the PS2 with the G27. Big mistake, it tuned out. The FFB in the game made really loud noises, so I had to stop playing in order to prevent my new toy from getting damaged. I might have been too late...
The next morning, I noticed my G27 felt... different. The wheel now seems to have a tiny bit of play when turning left or right just a bit. It's very small, a fraction of a millimetre, but it's there. In addition, when I turn the wheel left and right harder, it makes a clunky noise, like in this video:
The uploader of the video said the same noise on his wheel appeared after some hundred hours of racing.
The issue is fairly cosmetic, as the noise doesn't affect gameplay at all, but I'm bummed about my new toy getting broken so soon.
Anyone else having this issue? My G27 might still have some warranty left, so I might be able to get it replaced if I contacted the former owner. Or is this behaviour completely normal, and am I driving myself insane by forgetfullness and paranoia?
