Do Changan Kalam users report early wear and tear in steering column components such as bushings and bearings?

Users claim steering stiffness o r grinding at relatively low mileage. Are the materials used in the column below standard?

Yes. Premature wear of components like:

Steering column bushings

Universal joints

Column bearings

…is common, especially in vehicles that cross 20,000–30,000 km under heavy use. This leads to:

Grinding noise

Resistance when turning

Loose o r rattling feel in the steering wheel

These components are not adequately shielded from dust, moisture, and vibration, leading to faster deterioration.
