What may be the reason for a difficulty in maintaining a straight trajectory of a truck?

Explanation

Correct answer: The wearing and excessive clearance in the steering system.

The steering system is responsible for directing the vehicle in the desired direction of travel. Excessive play in this system, caused for example by a worn steering gear, means that movements of the steering wheel are not transmitted precisely to the wheels. As a result, the driver must constantly make minor corrections to maintain a straight course, which is a typical symptom of such a fault.
