chang50012 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Our 1992 Warrior was in the shop for couple weeks since we brought it. We changed all the fluid and new steering damper. I feel it handle differently now. I find myself need to continue making adjustment to the steering wheel while turn to the right (or left) alone the road. It seems I just could not find the right way to follow the road. Even on the straight line I found myself need to adjust steering wheel more than I wanted. The Warrior just done some Steering Box adjustment and alignment too. I did push the speed a little bit to test the handling and performance since all the maintenance already done. But the driving experience are much different than before. At lower speed (street) it feel not too much different. Once I got on the freeway I sense the different and force me to slow down. But I was not go over 60mph. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Edited June 19, 2017 by chang50012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Though an alignment was just done, was it done properly? I'd go and discuss your concerns with the garage that did the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chang50012 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for the advice. I will do that. If there any other thing could affect the sensitivity of steering wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It's hard to say from just a written description, but if I had to guess I'd wonder if the 'toe-in' was set to spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 When I bought my Toy tires were shot, the shocks were junk, wandered around on the road and felt like it was going to tip over in turns. Most steering components were mostly good but had thousands of miles on them. The steering damper was scrap metal and the bushings were good, so so and shot. So I replaced everything and I mean everything. Handles like a slot car now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I What you are describing certainly does not sound right to me. I'd say something was not done , or not done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
