99 GS400 Steering Wheel
hey guys i have a small problem with my steering wheel on my 99 gs4. the steering on the car is very stiff and its really hard when you turn specially when you are parking the car. i drove my friend's 02 es300 and the steering is so smooth i love it and now made me annoyed that mine is so stiff lol. i didnt mind it when i bought it but now its bothering me
anybody have any suggestions or ideas on what it might be?
i checked the power steering fluid and it is good so its not that
thanks guys!!

sounds like your rack pretensioner. Will your wheel self return to center or do you have to make it? If you have to pull the wheel back to center I would suspect that someone over tightened your pretensioner to get rid of the 60mph shake. .

Did anyone get their pretensioner tightened and noticed a decline in smooth shifting?
Thanks.

I had that problem after i took my car to the dealer and had my woodgrain steering wheel put on. I took it back to them and they told me they torqued the steering wheel to much.

Yes... I all have to live with this, between other peculiar things. Drawbacks of our fantastic cars...
