2003 Nissan Pathfinder Steering Wheel Sticking

[ahennes01]

Hello-

new to the forum. I am a Nissan Enthusiast!

Anyways, I have an 03 SE Pathfinder and I just noticed the steer wheel sticking in the center position a bit. Its mainly on the highway. It has to be jerked a little to go left or a right bit, then its smooth. Doesn't seem to be a huge issue but its a bit annoying. It has been extremely cold here in MN the last few days...below 0 F for about 3 or 4 straight days. Could it be from the cold?

Thanks!

Welcome to NICO.

Check the level and condition of the power steering fluid. If it's brown or smells burnt, buy a turkey baster at the dollar store and a quart of synthetic ATF. Siphon and refill the reservoir's contents with the new fluid; dispose of the old fluid at any auto parts store that accepts used engine oil.
