I just bought a Nissan Sentra 2001 GXE with only 25000km. The power steering is quite stiff and it feels like a manual one. My wife complaint about it and says it is hard for her to turn the wheel drive.

check power steering fluids
then check the lines
or you can but a carboard on the floor and see if anything is leaking out over night or run you engine and see if anything is dripping
then see if there is anything is caught inside the wheel barrings
turn the wheel to the side

I'm not a car expert, but I drive a 1994 Nissan Sentra that went through Hurricane Katrina. The steering is great. And, your 2001 doesn't have nearly the kilometers/miles that are on my car. (150,000 miles)
You need to get that car checked out.

song it up. you probable choose new spark plugs, cap and rotor. it somewhat is an effortless, low priced thank you to get extra suitable overall performance. With a e book/instruction manual out of your community autoparts save. you ought to probable do it your self. i think you have your oil replaced each and every 3k to 5k miles. If no longer, do it. As for the squeak, tell the mechanic. you ought to choose a belt tightened. you may additionally choose a belt replaced. they are additionally usually low priced. On my 1996 Sentra they are quite effortless to regulate besides. My vehicle has 230k miles on it. approximately 20k decrease back, it began getting louder on idle. It had a damn sound. a chum stated that my vehicle sounded rather like a truck. properly, that replaced into because of the fact the timing chains, classes, etc. are wearing out. i offered the aspects (around $250) and that i'm interior the technique of changing them. regrettably, this could be a extensive restoration invoice if your timing chains choose changing. this is a huge interest. i understand from adventure. sturdy success!

hmm, Nissan has the heritage of producing hard sttering cars, and also hard suspension...
Well, that time i had the experience of having a very hard steering for my Nissan Serena, and i called the service, and found out that a rat has chwed off the timing belt. You should focus on that, and also buy other better quality cars...

That car does not steer hard. Your pump or steering rack needs to be looked at.

I've never had that problem on my sentra - I'd check the fluids and pump
