Now I am on unpaved road and still cruising at 65. Then I see another sign that says bump and I slow down again for the end of the resurfacing but this bump was different....very different! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> I hit it @ 55 and it sounded like I slamed into the back of another car.

After further inspection at my house I realize that my tie rod is bent and the bushing is toast <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> And the car pulls to the left and feels like it floats when I hit any and all road inperfections

So now I am off the the Nissan dealership to order my new parts :$$$: and going to sweat it out installing them this evening

Just had to vent <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
