So i just picked up my car from the dealer after some warranty work on the steering components, tierods, and steering rack. Now my the steering wheel is so tight is almost ridiculous. The tech told me it was normal but christ my car must of been way out of whack before.

it should be tight, but you also shouldn't have to struggle to turn, without feeling it it's hard to tell if it is normal, you know how do you describe how it feels

i dont have to struggle to turn the wheel, but i do have to apply muscle to turn the wheel. I am hoping that it will just take a little driving to break it in. I expect it to be tighter, but compared to before its like going from a toyota camry to a ferrari.

also check tire pressure that will effect turning effort
