Steering response gone down

Wierdochild89 · 03-03-2008, 02:01 PM

Hey guys recently i noticed that my steering response has gone down/lag from before. My car has 4180 miles and its a FA5. Could this be the front tires finally wearing out (stock all season) or something is wrong?

Why would it wear down at 418 miles, and how would you describe this lag? Were you doing burnouts on them all the time? I'm sure you're just used to the steering response now.

have you checked your tire pressure?

Try upping your tire pressure.

Our power steering is electric, it could be your motor. Id have it checked out under warranty.
