Steering is feeling light
 
Recently my 2009 370z with 130K miles has felt very loose when it comes to steering. It's feeling like an older model Acura TL (just for some comparison). Is there any way to stiffen the steering? DIY?
Thank you guys

You may want to first check the tire pressure to make sure you have them set at the correct psi and NOT over inflated.

Look at the driver side door sticker for the recommended psi or manual as they differ.

You may also want to have the alignment checked out, and while you're their have them inspect the front suspension for any worn or damaged bushings.

With 130k miles?... you are looking at a partial front end rebuild. Front lower control arms are probably caput. Sway bar end links are gone. Struts are finished.
Strut mounts could be messed up, sway bar bushings need changing. If possible, replace everything at once, get it aligned , you will be back in business. Good luck
