Power Steering

[Hazza]

I had a drive of my mates Clio, 54 plate, and his steering feels lot lighter than mine.. and mine is a 51 plate..

Any way of making my Clio's steering lighter?

( i have been told pumping up my tyres would help, but i've done that the other week, still no better )

Its all going to be electric unles you've a very very rare one.

You can adjust them with the Renault computer turn the assist up there 4 level depending on the rack the thing is the heavier cars use the stronger 60Amp rack instead of the 45 which mkaes a difference.

Its surprising how new tyres can make your steering feel lighter. Have you got worn tyres, is your mate on new tyres?
