My 1998 nissan altima, the front wheel on driver
you need to check the ball joint behind the tire so you would have to jack up the car first but make sure you have your parking brakes on and then take off the tire so you can physically check this out. You might have to replace the rod that is coming from the engine to the tire so you can look with your own eyes when you have the tire in the air that you can physically see where the problem is at.

holdboth the lock and unlosk buttons on your remote simultaneously for about five seconds until the lights flash and horn chirps.that should do it.if not i believe these models used a separate horn for security system.possibly fuse for this horn is bad or the horn itself is bad.to see if this horn works lower drivers window.stand outside vehicle and lock doors with remote.wait about a minute and reach in window and MANUALLY unlock and open door(do not use power door lock button)this should cause the system to activate...horn should beep and headlamps should flash.if horn beeps try my first suggestion.if it doesnt beep and just the head lamps flash check fuses and horn for security system.

98 altima has trubble starting
if it only does this in damp weather, its more likely its in the ignition system. if it has a distributor check the cap for moisture and cracks. if it does have a cap. spray wd-40 inside cap to displace the moisture. WD stands for water displacement. when its dry outside and engine running. get a spray bottle and fill it with water, spray the dist. cap and wires. if there is a problem the car will chug and almost stall out. if this happens, thats the problem. have a good day !!

I would check the fuses first to make sure you didnt blow any out from all the battery change, jump starting, bump starting etc. Not sure if your battery was dead originally with the fault showing.

At a guess I would say that the main fuse is blown. Look for it either at the battery terminal or alternatively, in the fuse box. It will be somewhere in the region of around 50 amps.
