| Post subject: | 2011 Jeep Liberty Power Steering |
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" |
