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

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.

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!
