Power steering - improvements

[mj1226]

Is there a way to make a SURF's powersteering SOFTER & FASTER to turn?

Do I have to replace the whole PS assembly?

Anyone got tips to make steering wheel softer to maneuver?

Make sure the fluid is good, the level is right and the belt is tight (you have a 2.4, the belt neds to be tighter than normal with no play at all).

If it has an aftermarket steering whel, put the standard one back on; if it has a standard one, try to find a larger one that will fit.

Wonderful! Thanks for the advice! I thought there was an aftermarket or higher performance powersteering mechanism out there. hehehe


I have the levels up and I will check the belt tension as you said and Thanks I will make sure there is no play and have it a bit extra tight than normal.
****Is there a surf 2.4L specific reason to that?

And I am using an aftermarket Steering Wheel, I am not sure if it is smaller or bigger in diameter as of the OEM steeringwheel. It is a MoMo Race

Nope, none.

Yes, it's a very short belt.

It's probably smaller, so will need more effort to turn it.
