ive seen that the one that usually goes bad is the one that conects directly to the steering rack. if you are having a hard time physically locating it, look from underneath the car directly in front of the driver. there may be heat shields or other crap in the way if it isnt initially obvious. by the way the ujoint costs 108 bucks from nissan.
when mine went bad, i felt strong resistance in my steering wheel during some parts of a full turn, but it felt fine in other parts of the turn. a friend of mine had the same joint go bad, but he just ended up with a rediculous amount of play in the steering wheel.
there are also other joint under the dash that could have problems, but its most likely the joint i described thats beat up from being outside and getting splashed with shit all the time. good luck

I have had the u-joint go bad. It will be pretty obvious if it is. I just swap out the shaft with a good one, which is not hard to find.Chuck Stong
