agree  expressisverbis: Diria "volta completa (até o volante ficar bloqueado)" ou "volta (do volante) de um extremo ao outro". Tem aqui tb uma boa ref.: http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/lock-to-lock.1471799/ Matheus, desconhecia isso, mas nunca me entendi com volantes :-D

  -> Obrigado, Sandra! O único detalhe é que, até o volante travar, às vezes precisa dar várias voltas completas (pelo menos assim entendo). Mas posso estar enganado, é claro. Agradeço também pelo link!
