Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Cobalt owners report experiencing difficulty steering, which may be attributed to issues with the power steering system, such as low fluid levels or a failing pump, as well as problems with the steering rack or linkage components. Additionally, alignment issues or worn-out steering parts can contribute to this challenge. Furthermore, some owners notice a leaking CV boot on the right side, often indicating problems with the CV joint or axle shaft. This leak can result from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or impact damage, which may lead to contamination and potential failure of the CV joint. It is crucial for owners to have a qualified mechanic inspect their vehicle to diagnose these issues and recommend necessary repairs, as prompt attention can prevent further damage and ensure safe operation on the road.
