T32 2016 Steering fault help wanted


My X Trail T32 ST 2016 hit a pot hole and the steering is pulling badly to the left. I have had two companies look at it and attempt wheel alignment be still not good.
Anti Skid light is on, car pulling to the left, left wheel feels out of wack but tires rotated and balanced so problem not in wheels.
I did a fast acceleration test to check anti slip and seems to work, did hard brake test to check ABS and seems OK. Steering wheel now 30 degrees off centre.
Is it possibly the Steering Position Sensors??
Getting desperate and might have to try and drive 80kms to Lismore to Nissan Dealer.

Was there possible damage to the strut or top mount causing the camber or caster to be out of spec and unable to be adjusted correctly ?

You would definitely need to have the steering wheel centre position corrected so that it is centred and retrained.

No obvious strut or mechanical damage .
Looks like the steering position sensors in steering column.
What sort of cost is involved in its replacement from a Nissan dealership.

You say the steering wheel is off-centre by 30 degrees. You should have the wheel alignment redone to correct that first.
