Hey Everyone. I had a quick question. I have a 2004 Titan and am the original owner. Recently I have noticed what I believe to be an issue with the front end of my truck. When I am backing up and have the steering wheel turned hard to the left it feels like the tires while backing up will all of a sudden turn further to the left. Fells like they jump a little bit like you might feel in a 4 wheel drive truck by my truck is only 2 wheel drive. I don't feel it in the steering wheel but you can feel the tires and the truck jump.

I mostly have noticed this while backing down my drive way which is a little bit of a hill but I have also noticed it happening once in a while on flat road as well. I was just wondering if anyone had every experienced this and knows what it could be. Thanks in advance for any info or advice.

That doesn't sound normal... i will try that manuever with mine to see I get similar results.

Got a tie rod end going out?

I had it up on a lift at my mechanics shop about a week or so ago and he checked out everything and said he couldn't find anything wrong. Not sure what the deal is.

I tried what you described in your post and mine did not do that... if that helps you.

Thanks autostnmn I appreciate that. Will have to investigate more. I might try calling the one service manager at the Nissan dealership where I take my truck for warrenty and recall work he is a pretty cool guy. He might be able to shed some light on this. If I figure it out I will let you all know.

Thanks everyone

Have you run over anything abnormal lately (i.e. tall curbs or medians)?

No I havne't really. I try not to abuse my truck. That is what is odd about it.
