Hello.

Well, I just baught this beauty today. I took her for a drive and I notice that the second my speeds reach to 80km/h, the steering wheel turns a few degrees by itself.. The car doesnt, only the wheel does.. so for anything over 80km/h, I'm driving with the steering wheel pointing a few degrees off to the left, the second I go below 80km/h, it fixed it self and it's at normal again.

What the heck? Allignment?

wtf is a toe?

Also, if its allignement, why does it happen exactly at 80km/h?

80km/h puts you at 50mph. Sounds like the steering rack spring. Check for the TSB on it. It's a cheap part and a ****load of work.
Either that or tire balance. Alignment is unlikely, but worth a check. Maybe a bent rim as well?
Please let us know when you fix it!

Technical servie bulletin. Search of FA.
Basically, Nissan realized a problem and sent a bulletin to all dealers on how to fix it. Not quite a recall :bash:
