Hi all

 

I have looked for answers to this type of question, but any links welcome.

 

I have just got a KE30 2 door and the steering is very heavy off centre. Everything is std and original (good condition).

 

What can I do to improve the steering feel? Is this common? I am looking for something that will inspire confidence.

 

Please note I will get a wheel alignment, but I suspect this isn't the issue as it tracks straight, doesn't wobble, has good tyres, etc.

 

Thanks for looking and helping.

When you say heavy off centre, you mean its hard work to steer it? Tyres design can affect, especially if they're cheap shitty ones. First thing I would check is tyres pressures though if they are low it will be heqvy to steer.

 

Camber and castor settings will also impact it though. Just wheel align it then see how it feels.

 

Wheel wobble is a balance issue, not an alignment issue.

G`day mate, it could just be a lack of lubrication too. Check the steering box for oil and see if any of the tie rod ends have grease nipples. Cheers.
