2004 Nissan ALTIMA Steering Linkages Knuckle Spindle Arm Problems, Complaints and Defects

Component	STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Steering becomes tight turning in both directions. Better when it's warm, worse when it's cold. Over the course of 4 weeks the tightening has gotten so bad that wheel can only be turned with both hands and pulling hard. Sometimes it feels like it won't turn at all, then loosens back up just enough to complete turn. Independent auto shop diagnosed it incorrectly, dealership diagnosed it correctly but the part to fix it is back ordered for at least 2 weeks because so many cars have the same problem. I had to prepay to order the part, and schedule the repair. Had to drive around for another 2 weeks waiting for the part and hoping the steering doesn't lock up completely.
