I appreciate the reply's. This does make sence since the front spindle assembly appears like a two wheel drive's would. This just seems like a lot of drag for fuel economy and wear on the front cv joints, axels and differential.
Have an appointment for this at Nissan since they stated I should have it looked at. I will keep the appointment anyway since I wanted the brake pedal feel check and they said it is related to the brake tsb so I'll have them look at that and get rid of the "mush".
