drove a car last night with incredibly light steering, what components are the ones to check for causes?
thanks in advance,

could be over inflated tyres,are they worn in the center more than the outside?
also if your used to driving a bigger heavier car with wider tyres that would feel different.

Was it designed this way? I recall Puntos having a girlie button on the facia, to increase power assistance.
Are the front tyres correctly inflated?
Correct amount of toe-in?
Correct tyre width
I cannot remember ever reading of someone whose steering was TOO light. Too heavy, yes, but....

A bag of bricks in the boot (or a bootfull of duty free lager, which once nearly had me wheelying in an old Escort)

Fault with the rack (if PAS). Especially common on Rover 800 when torque ring in the rack snaps.
|
Was going to mention the same fault/car there! Common fault, leads to finger-light PAS, it's possible to 'spin' the steering wheel lock-to-lock.
Need more info on the car..
