An aircraft undercarriage includes a steerable bottom portion carrying one or more wheels and fitted with a steering device configured to turn the steerable bottom portion in response to a steering order. The steering device has a single electromechanical steering actuator having a steering electric motor driving, by a reduction gearing, an outlet pinion on an axis of the steering electric motor. The outlet pinion cooperates with a spur gear secured to the steerable bottom portion. A connection between the steering electric motor and the steerable bottom portion is reversible. The electromechanical steering actuator is fitted with a monitor configured to monitor at least one operating parameter of the steering device and to detect an actuator performance deterioration condition.
