Answer:

Technician B is wrong while Technician A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

In a worm gear steering system the steering wheel is connected to a shaft which turns the worm gear that is located inside of the Gear box and most excessive steering free play occurs in the Gear box and this is because the worm gear steering system consists of a gear that moves up and down whenever the steering is turned
