Is your Nissan Altima or Maxima's steering feeling loose, wobbly, or making clunking noises when you turn? A worn-out lower steering shaft could be the culprit. This A-Premium replacement shaft is designed to get your steering back to feeling tight and precise. It's a direct fit for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima and the 2003-2008 Nissan Maxima. It replaces the original part number 480808J000 (also cross-references to 425-600). This is the lower shaft that connects the steering column to the steering rack or gearbox. It's made from sturdy steel with a black, anti-corrosion finish for durability. The specs: it's about 15.5 inches long, 0.9 inches in diameter, has 32 splines on the ends, and includes one universal joint for flexibility. Installing a new shaft eliminates slop and play in the steering system, fixes that annoying steering wheel not returning to center, and gets rid of any knocking or vibration you might feel through the wheel. It's a crucial part for safe handling. The fit and function match the OEM part exactly. We're so confident in the quality that it comes with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee. If you're experiencing steering issues on your Nissan, this shaft is a solid, reliable fix to restore that smooth, confident drive.
