I have a 98 Maxima GXE. I have a noise when I turn the wheel, when turning
at slow speed. I traced the noise, I think, to the steering box. After
pulling the boot off the drivers side of the box, it appears that the
shaft is moving quite a bit sideways(laterally) when I turn the wheel (not
only end to end as it should). There is not a lot of grease on the shaft so
it doesn't seem that here is a break in a seal, etc..  Older American cars
had "play adjustments" in their steering boxes. Does anyone know if there
may be a play adjustment on the Nissan that might solve my problem.
