Test Driving a 370z

stealth23 · 10-09-2016, 04:43 PM

Ive noticed many owners here have this problem where the steering is very hard to turn when stopped but eases out when you start driving. As this is the case for my car since I have purchased it but have always suspected that there was some sort of an issue.

Showed my mechanic, we noticed that there was too much movement when shaking the wheels while on a lift. And that it shouldn't be very hard to turn while stopped. Which came to a conclusion that this could be a power steering rack(rack and pinion) issue.

Just wanted to put that out there.
