Frequently Asked Questions
How many steering parts fit the 2012 Nissan Sentra?
Our catalog currently lists 67 steering parts for the 2012 Nissan Sentra across 8 subcategories and 24 brands, covering both the 2.0L L4 and the 2.5L L4. Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.
Do steering parts differ between 2012 Nissan Sentra engines?
Some do. 58 parts fit every engine; the other 9 are engine-specific. Each row (and the filter at the top) shows which. If you're unsure which engine you have, check the emissions label under the hood or the 8th character of your VIN.
What are the signs of steering problems on a 2012 Nissan Sentra?
Common symptoms include play or looseness on center, a whine when turning, fluid weeping from rack boots, or uneven tire wear on the front axle. If you notice any of these, identify the affected subcategory above and cross-reference the part numbers listed.
What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace the inner and outer tie-rod ends together on higher-mileage vehicles, then get an alignment.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 2012 Nissan Sentra was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 2012 Nissan Sentra?
First match the engine — each row shows which engine(s) the part fits. Then flush old power-steering fluid when replacing a pump or rack — grit in the old fluid is the number-one cause of repeat failure. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
