Maxima Steering Issue
Maxima Steering Issue
Well I dropped my MAX off at the dealers today on the way to work because of a steering issue that has recently come up, and I was looking to get any feedback you guys might have. It’s a 2001 Anniv. with 20,000 miles on it, and it has been pulling to the right. I hit a large hole about a week ago with my right front tire (construction hole 8'x5' and 7+" deep that they "forgot" to mark off over night). Now normally I would say no big deal and just have an alignment done, but in this case, not only does the car pull right, but I have some 'play' in the steering wheel. This 'play' is most noticeable on the highway, and actually feels pretty scary above 80mph. I have to drive with the wheel cocked left, but yet I can move the wheel 2-3 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise without the car moving either way. In addition, from time to time when I am on the highway the steering wheel will feel as though it wants to 'walk' back and forth, 2 degrees left 2 degrees right, and so on. I apologize for the length of this, I just wanted to make sure I got you guys as much information as possible, and I really appreciate and feedback any of you might have. Thanks
