What can I do to tighten up the steering action in my 93 XE?
Back when I bought the car (~70k miles) the steering was tight and accurate. It took more mussel to turn the steering wheel, but the tight handling and secure feeling when changing lanes was worth the extra effort.
Now the steering is effortless and almost dangerous. I got newer wider tires put on and that seemed to help, but the steering action seems a little squirrelly. Any Ideas?
The car's running a front strut tower and upgraded front and rear sway bars. The struts have 90k miles on them, I wonder it they could be the problem.
The fact is when I drive on the freeway and around town the steering seems loose and squirrelly. It should be firm and hold a straight line, not all over the place like it is now.
Alignment was recently done and tires show little to no ware.
The power steering has been well maintained. All fluid has been flushed and renewed at regular intervals.
Any ideas as to how I can tighten this steering problem up?
Thanks
