Nissan Versa steering issue causing drift to the right at slow speeds on Nissan Versa

Problem overview

Some Nissan Versa owners report experiencing steering issues that cause the vehicle to drift to the right at slow speeds. This drifting may be attributed to several factors, including the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, which should feel looser at low speeds but may not function properly, leading to steering difficulties. Additionally, suspension misalignment can prevent the vehicle from driving straight, while misaligned wheels are a common cause of pulling to one side. Some owners also encounter problems with the steering system itself, such as weak seals in the steering rack, which can exacerbate steering drift during acceleration or cornering. Furthermore, vehicle wander can occur due to looseness in steering components, worn ball joints, or loose wheel bearings. It is recommended that affected owners have their EPS system, suspension, wheel alignment, and steering system inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues.
