Light steering

[J273]

Had 2 clios now dynamique and now the 182..Is it me or does anyone else feel the steering sooo light on these cars.....everytime i drive it i feel as though im sweerving all over the place as i find it too light,does anyone else find it light and as if they are all over the place...and is there anything that can be done to make the steering more heavy..?

J273 - Are your tyre pressures too high?

speaking of tyre pressures, checked mine today, i did them up to 32 all around a while back i think, the back ones were 33 and 34, whats up with that?!

If you'd just driven then it will have warmed them up!

Though I get it too when they're stone cold and 2psi higher than you put in last time... Reckon someone drives round pumping up tyres for fun! lol

my steerings light aswel. my tyre pressures are all 30's. i feel that the car has a mind of it's own sometimes, it's scary!

can anyone shed some "light" on this situation. How can i make the steering heavier??

The steering seems fine on my 182, quite heavy actually compared to some cars I've drove, which have been ridiculously light. The 1.2 Clio seemed much lighter than the 182, although not too light.

I was having this problem with my 182, even had it to Reno about 3 times. Steering was very light, motorway speeds were leathal as the car would sway & to be honest felt like a death trap @ 60/70+!

After kicking up a fuss in Reno, the fourth time they checked the car, they noticed the driver side rear shocker was leaking, now it's fixed/replaced it is 1000% better. If you have not done so already I seriously recommend getting it checked out!

Only prob is if the motor is older than 2yrs, warrenty will not cover, cost me £110!
