This is for a 2011 Versa S (1.8L, auto).
The front strut bearings do not rotate smoothly and stutter while turning in either direction.
It looks like the struts bearings are not rotating smoothly.
Have anyone just changed the strut mount to deal with this issue?

problem fixed

I replaced the strut bearings and have fixed the problem. The strut bearings were loaded with grit (sand) and couldn't rotate smoothly. The only complication is that you need to remove the cowl to get at the last upper strut bolt. Not hard, just a pain.
