Is there a known issue with the steering column o r rack in Changan Kalam models sold in Pakistan?

Clunking sounds o r free play in the steering might indicate rack wear. Are these components durable enough for Pakistans driving conditions?

Some users report:

Clunking o r knocking sounds during turns

Loose feel o r slight free play

These indicate:

EPS rack issues electronic failure o r play in gears

Universal joint wear in the steering column

Mounting bushing degradation

➡️ While no official recall exists, longevity of these parts in Pakistani conditions is questionable, especially after 40,000–50,000 km.
