Hello,
I have recently invested in a 1997 Nissan Sentra (automatic) with a four cylindar engine. It passed emissions with no trouble and the only repair I have had to make so far was a radiator flush. However, I have trouble with the steering and I was hoping that if I explained it someone could help me at least learn more about it. Where I live, it is in ones best interest to learn about your car prior to taking it to the mechanic-and since this is my first car I am trying to do that by posting to this group. Here is my trouble. Just today, I have had difficulty making turns in my car- more so on with regards to right turns than left. When I make a turn, the steering wheel feels very loose- it is like the whole car gets this loose sensation when I try to make a turn. Does anyone think this could be the CV joints? I bought this car with over 80000 miles on it and I unfortunately have no history on it. Or, could this be an axel issue? I am just trying to look for some advice because I honestly do not know what is wrong and I am still in the process of learning about cars.
I thank you,
Mary
