When driving the vehicle the steering wheel is making a clacking noise. The steering wheel is loose.
My steering has been loose since 65k miles and continued to drift. However this bieng my 4th car I let it slide and was waiting for time to do a wheel alignment. However at 73k miles the eps sensor went off and now is hard to drive. The eps on all my vehicles never had issues up till its death way over 250k miles. The eps sensor came on after a stop sign. Then I heard a snap then the car went into manual steering mode. Now the eps sensor is off and the car is working fine.
