This is my first post to this forum. I just purchased a new 2011 Jeep Liberty 4x4 Limited. The power steering at very low parking lot speed is stiffer than other vechicles I have owned. Is this normal for this vechicle or should I have the dealership check it out. Normal speed driving is fine. I thought maybe it might be designed stiffer at very low speed for off road. I knew you guys would know with all the knowledge on this board. Thanks.

My Jeep doesnt feel extraordinarily stiff in the steering. Maybe ask the dealership if you can compare to another KK on the lot if they don't see anything wrong with it.

I felt the steering was a little heavy at first but I really don't notice it anymore. We have had zero problems with our KK btw.

You might want to increase the SPI in your front tires a bit...

But also test drive other KK on the dealers Lot.
If they feel differant, then you can send it in for the work...

I know what you mean. When I first got mine, I thought the same thing. I dont notice it anymore.

Mine feels light/easy to steer compared to other vehicles I've owned, but if it changes with speed/RPMs, I would assume something is wrong. I had my PS pump go out on my 350Z, it did the same thing.

FWIW my 2010 feels much "heavier" than my 02.. not sure why but it does.

Not to go to off topic, but 2010+ KK's were designed to provide the driver with "more road feeling"
