If you have gone to start your car in the morning, and found a puddle underneath, this could be a fluid leak from your Nissan steering rack. In the worst case, a leak of that size could mean that your Nissan steering rack has failed and will need replacement. There is also a good possibility that your leak may be just a loose hose or fitting. The hydraulic fluid that circulates in this system is pumped through under pressure from the power steering pump, so a small breach can leak a large amount of fluid. If however you have noticed deterioration in the handling of your vehicle, this could indicate a more serious problem than a faulty hose. If the steering has become harder, especially when the vehicle is cold, or is making whining or grinding noises, chances are that your Nissan steering rack is worn. These tell tale signs may come and go at first, but if allowed to progress unchecked could lead to more damage or even total failure of your Nissan steering rack. This could lead to a very dangerous situation if it takes you by surprise on the highway.
