ES5 steering

Post by S390 » Tue Feb 02, 2010 11:21 pm

Wanna get advise from experience bros and sisters here.
I have been driving ES5 since 05 and now my steering seems heavier than other cars. why huh?? went to workshops some said tat this model steering is heavier :o . some replied honda steering heavier :shock: than other brand cars. it suppose to be the other way tio bo?? I went to leng kee and advise that my steering pump need to be changed. i also went to 2nd hand dealer and tried on the steering. initially felt lighter but when driving own car feel that almost the same.. walau... confused. need help :( :( :(

Could this just be a psychological thing? Like after I have carried heavy stuff for sometime, then i drive my car...the steering like become very very light.... :D :D
