Thanks for your feedback everyone, and yes any extra slop has to be bad.

I think they have slightly offset shafts and a large outside cup gear with teeth on the inside and a smaller drive gear running inside the outer gear so they both spin the same way, just the outer slower.

They will make steering heavier even disregarding friction. A 2:1 will reduce turns lock to lock by half but will make the steering twice as heavy. There is always a tradeoff. The one I'd get is the 1.5:1

Thanks again -Andy
