Nissan Navara Power Steering Malaysia — NP300
NP300 uses hydraulic power steering (HPS) on most variants. Check power steering fluid level monthly — low fluid causes heavy steering and pump whining. The steering rack can develop seepage at high mileage; a minor seep is often manageable but a full leak needs prompt attention. Steering feels heavier off-road due to the front axle geometry.
Navara Power Steering
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS): no hydraulic fluid — maintenance-free in normal use
- EPS warning light: check steering torque sensor and ECU connections first
- Heavy steering at low speed: EPS motor drawing too much current — diagnostic scan needed
- Maintain tyre pressure — correct pressure reduces EPS effort and wear
