Thanks for the reply old tech, I might hate to take you up on your offer. I'll look into part numbers in the next few days and will let you know.
Background story: this actual 2010 Kizashi is my fathers, I bought my own brand new one in 2012 because they drove amazing, unfortunately I had to sell mine in 2016 whereas my father kept his 2010 which I started to use now as he uses another car. I remember that my 2012 drove amazing, the steering was much lighter than my (then BMW) and I really enjoyed the car. Fast forward to now, the 2010 Kizashi doesn't feel like mine did or that it did before when I occasionally drove it, thus why it's annoying me so much.
I'm also thinking it could be the steering rack that might be the cause due to the fact that it feels a bit notchy and it doesn't really smoothly return to center after the full turn, it would move than stop than move (kind of notchy). However when moving quarter turn to either side it forcefully moves back to center. It also feels heavy as if the power steering is operating at half capacity...
Any input?
Cheers
