    I was just wondering if there is a way to tighten out steering? Its very easy to turn the wheel, which I don't like so much.. On the highway, it feels like they wheel is just going to turn on its own, i'm not knocking on power steering.. I just dont want it to work so well, lol

    uhm i dont get it, it works too well? you dont like how easy and responsive it is, well then unhook your PS hoses and that should yield what you want

    Mine is the same. From a dead stop you can go lock to lock with your pinky very easily.

    I hate it. I'll be installing an SN95 rack soon to fix that problem

    You could dump exactly 1.25 cups of fine play sand into the ps resovour. This is a known fix for fox power steering looseness.

    yeah i kind of agree but I like the easy turning. My only issue is that I do have slop n the steering. Really noticed it today at 75 on the PA turnpike. Not good. on my fix it to-do list.

    I just upgraded to 03 cobra steering. Cost alot though. Steering is so much nicer and the way it tracks on the highway is perfect!
