A delayed o r loose steering feel usually points to worn steering components such as tie rods, steering rack bushings, o r ball joints. Loose steering can also result from improper wheel alignment o r stretched steering linkage parts. In Pakistan, frequent potholes and rough roads accelerate wear. This issue compromises vehicle control and safety. It’s crucial to inspect steering linkage regularly and replace worn parts. Wheel alignment after repairs ensures better steering response.
