Steering issues on my 2017 Valtra

[pullthetabs9]

Got a 2017 Versa SV and the steering's acting up. When parked, it won't turn left and the right's not smooth either. Moves better when driving but throws in an occasional pop. Bearings and hub were replaced a few months back. Any ideas?

Sounds like it could be the strut mount or steering rack acting up. Id also check the tie rods, I had a similar issue and it was the inner tie rod binding up.

Yeah, it might be the electric power steering system acting up. Versas from this year are known for that. Some say restarting the car helps for a bit, but it could be a sensor or fuse issue. Have you noticed any warning lights or weird sounds when turning the wheel?

Electric power steering in budget cars like the Versa is more about cutting manufacturing costs than improving reliability. They fail quieter than hydraulic systems but way earlier and cost more to fix.

On a 2017 Versa, the electric power steering can be a weak point. If all the mechanicals check out, the EPS sensor or fuse could be the culprit.
