hey, i just bought my 07 G35 coupe and for some reason my steering wheel is very stiff? is this just how its made to handle? on my other car the steering wheel is more loose, can the dealership help? and im also getting a light on top temperature gauge the light seems to be a question mark (!) on the corner, what does this mean?

thanks alot for the help

 

check your tire pressures.

 

(!) exclamation mark :-) hehe someone has to point it out
anywho the steering is very stiff for this car, very close to having no power steering

 

so what should i do if i have no power steering should i go to the dealer? i mean its stiff but not crazy stiff, i dont need two hands on the wheel to turn it but it gets very annoying lol

 

maybe u're trying to turn the steering wheel while parked?

 

erm i didnt mean to say that it doesnt have any power steering, I meant to say that i feels like it doesnt have any power steering because of it's stiffness .
Bottom line the car is fine, it's just how it is

 

I love how the steering wheel feels in our cars. It makes the car feel very sturdy. My gf always says how sturdy my car feels, she loves it lol.

 

Is the steering feel different than my '03? I feel like it's way too light at high speeds.

 

I love the way our steering feels... I hate getting in other cars and getting the flimsy feeling.

 

yup its purposely like that i love it

 

thats how its suppose to be, i like how it is...it feels better imo.

 

I guess its all just preference between individuals

just check the tire pressure, other than that, you should be fine

 

its probably too stiff b/c your tire pressure is low!

 

Yes, the stiffness is definitely noticeable coming from another car, you will get used to it over time and might even learn to appreciate it. Check the power steering fluid, and if it's there then you're good. The stiff steering only makes your stronger.

(i) light means you have low tire pressure in one or more of your tires. Reading the manual will help you get familiar with you car and answer many questions you may have down the road, and even enlighten you on many things you otherwise wouldn't know. GL son.

 

RWD FTW, if your coming from a FWD car then this can also explain why you think the steering is 'stiff'. I drive my GF's civic then get into the G and realize a whole world of difference in the steering (and just about everything else). FWD cars feel totally different...
