There is nearly none between the steering motor gear through the plastic encoder gearing. There is some normal backlash between the metal-to-metal steering gear and the wheel module gear. I should mention that these swerve units were constructed based on the AndyMark design, but were not purchased units, so play in through the mechanism may be different than in the commercial units.

I'd need to test again for more exact measurement. I don't remember the original numbers, but they aren't anything that affects the operation.
