Title: I think my steering is too light ?
Post by: spudboy6 on 04 November 2012, 00:01

I just over hauled my suspension on the front ,
New shocks
New springs
New top mounts
New lower arms
New ball joints
New track rod ends


Ect ect

Just feel that the steering in the mk3 is too light , almost the PAS is to assistive.  I presume this is how they are lump it or leave it ? Just want a stiffer wheel bit more resistance I Suposse ,

Anyone recommend anything only a 1.8 mind ......

Have you checked the tyre pressure; it may be too high?

PAS is ment to be light, live with it or buy something with manual steering.

Drop it on its arse and fit some banded steelies. Should make things heavy for you.

get the tracking checked.  Should be reasonably light, but not stupidly so.
