i just bought an TII the steering is really hard to turn rolling and stoped i know it doesnt have power steering, it is just alot stiffer then i think it should be compared to otheer non powersteering cars.

 

YOu will get used to it. When I first drove my RX i thought that it was a real pain in the ***. But now i dont even worry about it, in fact i perfer it over power streering know because its just too easy.

 

might need some grease, mine was like that when I first got it

 

You need to work out more.
If you're running 225 or thinner tires up front, there is no excuse for not being able to turn the wheel.&nbsp Are you female?

well he is from Beaverton, OR!!

 

Did you put a manual steering rack on, or just remove the PS?

 

Beaverton, OR!!! Thats ******* classic!!

Could be ball joints, or possible poor alignment angles.

Grease the ****, if possible. Jack the front of the car up, grab each tire from left to right, and try to move the wheel. It will move freely because it has no weight of the car on it, but try to feel for any excessive (sloppy) free play in the steering. If you feel clunks, it is probably tie-rod ends.

If you can move the tire by grabbing at the top and bottom, then your wheel bearings need to be tightened or are worn out.

 

Manual steering system rarely go bad.&nbsp Unless the car has been in a front end accident, I doubt it could sieze by itself - there's an easy test to perform.

Jack the car up and turn the steering wheel all the way left - all the way right.&nbsp It should turn VERY easily and very smoothly.&nbsp This will eliminate any problems with the steering system itself.
