Is there a way to adjust the power steering?
I've been wondering if there's any way to apply less power-assist on the steering. Road feel is just not good enough when it comes to how there's too much "assistance" from the system.
Additionally, i notice my steering wheel is slightly "loose". Best way to describe it is when i'm on the highway i can tilt the wheel left/right slightly before i feel the connection to the wheel and/or the car actually starting to drift to either direction.

How about the underdrive pulley? Wouldn't that help a bit?
About the steering wheel being loose, it feels more like the connection between the wheel and the shaft is loose or something.

there was a discussion awhile ago on the 4th gen board
refer to this post
https://maxima.org/forums/showthread...light=steering
but basicly we talked about putting in a valve in the power steering fluid system and instead of it being open all the way, open it 1/2 way or something.
There was also some discussion of maybe changing the pulley size on the pump
I have not given up on the idea, just have not had the time. I am still looking at it. If I come up with anything I'll let you know

This has been my complaint since day one. My Max would be perfect(to me)if the power steering wasn't sooo over-boosted. I've posted this question numerous times, but apparently we're out of luck.
