Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan altima 2. 5s, i have been having steering problems and have had 3 mechanics look at it and cannot figure out what is wrong with the steering. When i take turns it is really tight, i have to pull the steering wheel back myself. I tried emailing nissan of north america, they did not respond, there should be a recall for this problem many people have this problem from what i reading online. There has to be a way to fix this problem, please help me find a way. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. There is also a creaking sound on the left side in the front of the car that started at the same time as the steering problem. This steering problem occurs when it is cold outside.
