[QUOTE="seech, post: 13606, member: 4572"] Hi. Anyone had any experience with the steering getting tight when the engine is hot? (tight and hot??!!! don't get any wrong ideas ah.... serious problem leh....)The steering is fine in the mornings when everything is nice and cool but once the engine bay starts to get hot the steering tightens up and has a lot of resistance when you turn it. After cornering I actually need to turn it back to center, it doesn't spin back by itself. Also when turning the steering when it is tight there is some vibration.My mechanic has 'loosened' the steering box a little. It helped for a while but the downside is much more free play when straight ahead and now the problem has come back again so I'm not certain that its the proper solution.Anyone got any ideas? Dunno what to do.Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
