Steering Wheel Hard to Turn?? I was wondering if all F-body's are hard to steer? Mine is one of the worst steering cars I've ever drove? The wheel is tough to turn compared to my Mom's Mazda 6s or my Dad's Duramax. Could there be something wrong? What should I do?
Thanks,
Nick

Trucks have a steering box and not a rack and pinnion steering. They are easier to steer.
Many people prize firmer steering. Back in the 1970's people often switched out the box to get the lower ratio. GM even put a lower ratio rack in the Cavalier Z28 as compared to the regular one. You should be glad you have a sporty feel.

99+ GM Full Size Pickups have Rack & Pinion. So do the Canyon/Colorado's
