2013 Sonata steering feels loose
I have a 2013 Sonata SE. The steering feels a little loose while driving. The car does not pull left or right, but the steering just feels kind of loose sometimes. It can make it a little difficult to keep the car perfectly in the lines because it feels like you’re constantly making tiny corrections.
I’ve recently replaced the front struts (both sides) and front inner tie rod ends (both sides). I also had an alignment done afterward. That helped some, but it still doesn’t feel completely tight/normal.
I did some research and found people talking about the MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) rubber coupler causing loose steering feel on these cars, but from what I’ve read that usually also causes a clicking noise when turning. Mine does not make any clicking noise when turning the wheel.
Has anyone else had this issue on a Sonata? If so, what ended up fixing it? Thanks in advance!
