Most likely the steering rack boots are split open axles boots torn and other parts have worn out too. You first have the entire front end checked for worn cracked bushings wear to the struts and lower control arms (transverse links) rear bushings all looked at. Changing just one worn part and spending money to realign the car then finding another worn part and realigning again? If you start to get dirty you might as well see it thru to the end and put the suspension back to like new condition. Then spend your $69 to $89 dollars for an alignment once. Sorry that is how Nissan Technicians make there money. 12 year old car suspension parts wear away and slack in any part will prevent the technician from being able to align it properly.How to change inner tie rod end on a 1997 nissan maxima?
