Has anyone had the dealer adjust their steering box? My alignment is good but it feels like there is play in steering wheel.

My alignment is "within specs" according to dealer, still drifts to right. Service mgr. said that some of the steering boxes have been discovered to have too much "slop" in them, doesn't seem to be the case with mine but I'll find out Tuesday.

 

[JIGSAW424]

Yeah, I brought mine in and at the time they didnt want to mess with the steering box. Mayb next time I go, they will be more trained up on the adjustments. Thanks

I recall some early blog reviews mentioned sloppy steering. I assume that meant excess play. Hopefully it isn't a design feature.

 

[WireNut]

My steering isn't sloppy at all, actually it is very smooth and responsive, just drifts to the right.

Mine seems fine atm. Only have about 300 miles on it so far. However while I was having front driver side axle replaced at 170 miles the service rep said they just replaced the steering box on the regional account reps truck.

The dealer cant visually see anything wrong with the truck in order to fix anything. I am gonna have to talk to Nissan Consumer Affairs cause he doesnt know what to do.

Well I dropped off the XD for "adjustment" they put me in a 2015 Armada Platinum, Wow, it's like stepping back in time, the thing drives like my 04 Titan, the seats and interior in my Pro4X are much more comfortable than the Armada. Ride in Armada in too soft, bouncy. And that stupid zig zag console shifter is a pain in the rear end. You can definitely see some of the interior styling for the XD got taken from the Armada though, like the door panels silver trim etc. The Armada also comes with a Bose system instead of the Rockford Fosgate, again the XD reigns supreme in that field too!! Can't wait to get my truck back!!
Oh yea, I'll post the results of the service visit tonight after I pick up and road test my XD.

They are replacing my steering box, the Nissan Rep said that there have been a few cases of lose steering boxes on trucks.

 

[WireNut]

They got mine fixed by "expanding" the alignment specs from the original settings. Nissan is at least addressing the issues it is encountering.

I am having the same issues in my Platinum... Its driving me insane!

JIGSAW424, have you had yours replaced yet? Did it solve the problem?

I have a laundry list of problems with my XD and I am just sticking it to Nissan for these. Just curious about your steering issue as well.

 

[JIGSAW424]

Well, its at the dealer getting a new steering box and alignment. We will see if that fixes the problem.

 

[JIGSAW424]

So got the truck back and it still is doing it. Feels better than it did though. Mayb it has something to do with the shocks or how firm the front springs are. Does anyone have this issue with a Pro4 X? U have the Bilstein's vs the PR and SL model shocks.

No Issues at all with my Pro-4X, straight as an arrow

Pro-4x gas and I don't have this issue

I have the Pro4x and I do have pulling to the right. It's going it for an oil change soon and I'll have them look at that too.

That's disappointing

No pull or bump in steering on my pro4x

 

[derek s]

Pro 4 x 10000 km and started at 8000 km and had alignment. Still pulling waiting to see what's next.

 

[WireNut]

My drifting to right on my Pro4X was corrected by the dealer obtaining new "expanded" settings for the alignment. Took them all day to fix, but they got it.
