Stiff Steering
About a month ago my steering started acting up. It is very stiff when turning a corner, but during the turn it also goes back to "normal", then stiff again. Also when turning the wheel it won't return back to the straight position. It seems like when it is warmer out it doesn't act up as much. Someone said maybe the steering knuckle. When I jacked the car up the wheel turns freely no stiffness. I sprayed wd40 on the knuckle and it seems 100% better, but it is also 50 degrees today. Not sure if the temp has anything to do with it. Does anyone know the symptoms of a bad knuckle, or could it be the pump or the rack??? Thanks for your help.
there is a knuckle (u-joint) in the steering shaft, that has probablly gone bad. mine did the same thing
What is the part called that you replaced. When I do a search for u-joint it can't find it for this car? Thanks for your help
I think you have to replace the lower steering shaft, I am not sure if the u- joint can be purchased by itself. You might want to try nissanhelp.com someone might be able to give you more insight there
I have a 2005 Altima SE and I have the u-joint steering shaft problem too. I have low mileage 58000kl 4 year old car. What kind of crappy part is it they are passing off on customers? I never heard of that joint going in all of the old cars I have ever owned, let alone a 4 year old vehicle!
AGREED
I have a versa 2007 and it has 70K
The noise started at 65K
I need a steering knuckle replacement

Nissan sucks
Plus i had my motor replaced at 45K
