Hi,
I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf with 48k miles on the clock. Recently, when I accelerate fairly hard the car steers slightly right, when I take my foot off the accelerator there is a small swerve to the left. It's unnerving and I'd like to fix it. Does anyone know what's causing this?
The car has been regularly serviced at the Nissan dealers. Track rod ends have been replaced, there are new tyres tracked and balanced. It's just passed its MOT and there are no problems with the suspension.
I've heard the problem described as torque steer, but I'm not sure if that's right. Is it possible there is a differential type problem, that power to the two front wheels is not the same?
BEFORE the car goes to the main dealers (who I don't like very much), can anyone give me a diagnosis please...
Best,
John
