Steering Problems

[Graberhieny]

I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima with about 210XXX miles or so. The other day when I was driving my car started to jerk to the right when my car switched gears. When I start off the steering wheel is straight, after going through 2nd and 3rd gear and the rpms drop below 2,500 i notice that my car jerks to the right and my steering will s*** left. My cars steering wheel will lean towards the left to keep the car straight. The thing that is confusing me is that my alignment it still good while going down the road and the steering is leaning to the left. Makes no SENSE.

Thanks

Sounds like your right front caliper is sticking/dragging.

I had a similar problem with my I30. The control arm bushings were worn and had to be replaced. It's better to just replace the whole control arm. Do both sides and get it aligned after.
