My daughter owns a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder. She has problems with her steering. When she turns her steering wheel to the left or right, the steering wheel most of the time does not return to a level position when the wheels on the road finds itself centered back on the center of the lane she is in. If she turns left of the roadway while driving, when the wheels on the road finds itself turning back to the centered lane she is in, the steering wheel will be at a left downward position not centered on the lane she is in. If she was turning to the right, then the opposite will happen. The steering wheel will be at a right downward position when the wheels on the road finds itself back to the center of the lane she is in. Also, when driving down the roadway on a level road, the car will start to veer off to the left or right side of the roadway on it's own. This is without anyone turning the steering wheel. Could this problem be caused from a defective rack & pinion? What test can I perform to see exactly what is causing this to happen? Thank you, Tommy.
