Hi guys !
I have 2008 G35x Sports package.My steering is not that much soft as compared to other cars.Sometimes i feel as if it is not power steering. Is it exclusively with my car or every sport package car have same power steering problem.
Is there anyway to make it soft ?
Thanks !

When I first picked up my G37 I thought steering felt a bit tight but I got used to it. Tires can have an impact on steering feel as well (My old Hankook V12's felt far "heavier" than my current ContiExtreme's).

If you think there is an issue and you are still within the factory warranty then I would have Infiniti check it out. In fact, test driving other similar cars would tell you whether yours is heavier or not.

I have really seen nothing concerning power steering fluid mentioned as far as better performance with upgraded fluids. Then again, I've never really thought about it either ;)
