Steering sticks

[bradleydavidgood777]

I have a 2017 with about 24k miles on it. I guess I noticed this a couple of years ago, that the steering seems to stick, or I could say, not flow easily. I find that I'm using too much force to correct the car from what feels like wandering. Meaning, normally, I make corrections without thinking about it when driving other cars, but with the iMiev, it seems like its sticking and I'm having to think about correcting it and it's wandering off course. This was true with the original tires and also with replacements I got about a year ago. I don't think it is actually wandering off, it seems like it just is sticking or too hard to steer so it stays in a position, and the car creeps out one way or another as I go down the road, and I'm constantly feeling like I'm having to correct.

Thanks!

Could be:

Worn track rod ends

Worn suspension ball joints.

Loose wheel bearings.

Sticking point in the electric steering box.

Jack up and use a pry bar to check for slop.

OK thanks! I'm going to get the mechanic to do it next time it is in the shop.
