Funny Feeling in steering
When making a sharp turn (onramp/offramp to a freeway) there is a lot of force in the steering fighting against me. Any ideas what would cause this? It's almost as if when I want to turn right, the car wants to stay straight and fights me turning it. It's an 02 SE 6 speed. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure what you are experiencing is normal. I've driven many other cars and the Maxima has a very firm steering radius. If it's too strong then the 1st thing i would do it take the car to an alignment shop and make sure that there is not problems with the toe. I doubt it's a problem, but having your alignment done every year or so is a real good idea, because if there is a problem it could easily be identified.
