Hi everyone,
I have a 2003 ep3 with approx 100,000 miles on it. I'd like to do autosolos in it but when I did my first one a couple of months ago I found it really difficult to get it round tight turns when going lock to lock. Perhaps I need to practise a bit more but I think the main reason is because the steering does not self centre very well at all. I've noticed other people just let the wheel whip back through their hands but I have to drag it back to centre as it is so slow to return. Is this normal for EP3s? And/or is it something they develop over time? I have had the rack greased recently but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I'm thinking about exchanging the rack but I'm not sure if this will make a big difference and be worth the money. It's safe to say I'm relatively clueless about cars but trying to learn so please bear with me! Would really appreciate any advice on this or to find out if others have had similar problems.
