like driving a tank!!
hi took my r5 for a sneaky blast up road today and noticed in the yard doing manuvers and turning round etc the steering is so stiff! i know they dont have power steering but you really have to pull the wheel, or am i just getting soft with all this power steering lol. is there anything that can make the steering stiff?i know having alloys with grippy soft tyres doesnt help

good air pressure in tyres all ways helps.

Tyre pressure, allways a good idea to fill rack gaiters with lubricant and work the rack lock to lock. makes the rack feel super smooth if its gone dry you made any suspension mods or wheel changes?

I think on some racks there is a little bung in the casing, you can pop some lube in there....EP90 (rear axle oil) works well......

Also worth checking the suspension top mount bearings, they can make the steering stiff.
