I've been using a few ways to determine "slop":

I can turn the wheel about an inch before I feel resistance while not moving.

While driving I can turn the wheel about an inch before the input seems to affect the direction. There is also the same inch of turn of the wheel required before I feel resistance in the wheel. It actually makes it hard to determine if the wheel is centered or not. The center seems to move around based on the lean of the road.
