Worn-out tie rods: These affect the connection between the steering rack and the wheels.
Faulty EPS motor: If the motor isn’t functioning properly, steering feedback can become weak o r non-responsive.
Steering rack issues: A worn steering rack o r loose steering column can also cause play in the wheel.
