I was asked to post this as somehow, it got bogged down in another post.
Anyway the question was, how should the steering feel, mine feels loose and floaty. Having come from an M Class that is super direct, i find the 105 series(petrol for the ones who want to know) very strange indeed. Ok i have had it 3 weeks and learning stuff, but what i have found is this, after the wheel alingment, nothing seems to change, i think i got ripped there. It seems that over 80kl,s the steering feels very loose and around 100, if i hit the ruts in a tar road, it seems to drift a little, especially when trying to brake. The best way to explain this is as follows, when you travel on a normal road, you can see where the lines are after cars have gone over it, if i hit the middle bit thats up a little, it drifts and it needs controlling hard. Now this may be normal, but we have had some high winds lately and it just does not like the cross winds, its a bastard to control.
So the question is this, is it normal? should i do the front bushes with the fact that i will be towing soon, is there something else i should be looking for.
Boy do i ask some questions, but i am trying to learn from you guys as the truck is new to me.
