Hello just got my EP82 and I have a question about the power steering... I know the car has power steering from factory, but it is kinda stiff in comparison with other cars I have had... The fluid on the power steering reservoir shakes a bit it looks like it is being pumped fine)... it is a bit hard to turn the steering wheel all the way using just one hand when the car isn't moving sometimes and need a help from my other hand :drive:

Does this car supposedly have a stiffer power steering? thanks!

Yeah it is rather stiff, when I got my Peugeot as my daily drive it felt like I could just blow on the wheel and it'd turn.

right, but I have had old cars just like this one and they were not as stiff! so... now that I read your replies it seems to be normal on these cars...

sounds normal, also depends on the size of the steering wheel. Smaller aftermarket wheels turn a bit harder it seems. Also realised the faster I drive the easier the wheel turns. :)

thats physics mate. happens whether you have power steering or not. the wheel will always be easier to turn when your moving rather than stationary
