The slower you go the heavier it gets and the faster you go the lighter it gets, it is the worst steering I have ever used. CRAP. meant to be the other way round:lol: lighter = slower - heavier = faster!! Meant to feel more stable at high speeds:rolleyes: and light so its easy to park etc:thumbs: Yes I know but mine does the opposite. Scary sometimes when you try to turn quickly into a space and the steering just stiffens up without warning.:( ah well i think you can safely say that your steerings pretty fooked:thumbs:

	Done 8k in my corsa c 2003 and have had no problems so far.

	When parking the steering does get lighter but you have to wait a few seconds before it lightens up.

	My drivers seat it worn away also..... I put it down to me having a fat arse :lol:
ChazSXi	posted on 30th Dec 03 at 12:08
	isnt that because of the electrically assisted power steering?:boggle:
of_corsa_sxi	posted on 30th Dec 03 at 12:06
	no the only thing ive voided on my warranty is my exhaust cos i got a big fat one put on. the car is going into vauxhall for the following reasons. squeeky boot, squeeky back wheels, squeeky brakes, worn away drivers seat, leaking when raining and now dodgy steering! how nice!
dazz25	posted on 29th Dec 03 at 17:17
	Mine does the same but i've not really noticed till you mentioned it!!!
baza31	posted on 29th Dec 03 at 16:57
	take it back to vaux! or have modified it and lost ur warrenty?
Paul H	posted on 29th Dec 03 at 15:13
	yep mine does it.nothing to worry about.
of_corsa_sxi	posted on 29th Dec 03 at 15:09
	i have a 03 reg corsa and ive noticed that if i reverse round a corner or summit and then immediately turn the whell the other way, its like im driving a tank, theres no life in the wheel at all! once i get going then it starts to loosen up again. my mate has the same car and has similar problems, has anyone else had this problem?
