Tighten Steering
I am wondering how to tighten my steering. I got a 02 Ex and the steering is extremly loose. Is that a stock problem? I did a search and couldnt find anything on this.

Rep Power: 0 I have stock right now. And what I mean by tighten is that when you turn the wheel I actully want the wheels to turn. Right now I can turn it pretty far without it turning at all. I want it to turn the steering wheel alittle and have the wheels start turning. Thanks for the help!

Rep Power: 400 Well, you can swap the box for a quicker ratio, or put some toe out in the front, but then you're wearing the tires faster. Just buy some tires with stiffer sidewalls, thats probably the easiest way to make the steering more responsive.
