The car dose not have power steering & my pinny only has 14" tyres... there said to have a max pressure of 32, last time i checked (2 weeks) they were spot on.
 
As far as checking other things, so far no i havent, i simply have not hard enough time yet Smiley

for an EVEN SMALLER car, my dad's Festiva has heavier steering than our old Bluebird... I think it's a trait with front wheel drives & torque steer.

You could pump tyres up higher e.g 35 this made the sigma's steering slightly more bearable.

i would neva pump the tyres up to maximum pressure that the tyre says. It increases tyre wear and makes the car so much harder to turn. My rears are set at around 45 (max is 51).

neva go over the max pressure cause ur asking for it to blow out

It's better then it was and im keeping to norm temps now.  The steering in general needs a good bloody overhall witch aint all that bad cause when i finally get it on the road ill have and excuse to get the zorst and the shockies done Wink Shocks are horrid at the moment & ill be replacing the springs with King lows. Might have to get a few brushes done too but once that and the zorst is done the car should be completly fine for quite a few years. Im gona see if i can get an old friend to help me out with most of it, we wernt the best of friends but we got on quite well tougther and i know he loves cars so Wink well see what happens there. Still a while to go before that happens however.
