wheel sterring question!,
 

my question is why the wheel stering turns so hard on the 01 x5? are they all like that from factory? i have the 03 dodge ram but the wheel stering is so easy on it!,,but the x5 is turning very hard ,,i check the power stering oil level everything is fine,,or thats the way they are from factory?? thanks

?? thanks

it does feel sort of heavy...because the car is heavy...

but you know...i don't know how heavy you're talking about.

the newer ones had the option of servotronic to aid in steering...

:clueless: ?

Unless is really, really hard to turn the wheel, it's probably normal. The steering is very tight in these beasts (just the way I like it). Mopars are notorious for having extra-light steering, so I'm not surprised that it feels like a huge difference to you. Is your X new to you?

i have the x5 for about 1 year and half ,,but i never got a chance to ask,about it,, like if you pull into a parking lot space,, or get out it feel like the wheel stering is turning so hard,,,i just wondering if all the x5 are like that or maybe is there an ajustment to make it turn easier?,,thanks

My x5 is the same, never drove bmw with light steering wheel.

You should also check your tire pressures. If they are low, it'll feel heavier, higher - lighter. Hard to tell in your avatar, but it looks like you're running 18s. Your tire pressure should be at 32 all around if this is the case. If you want to lighten up the steering a bit, try 33 or 34 in front, but I wouldn't go much higher than that.

i called the dealer (niello bmw) and they said to x5 that usually like that ,,havier car,,,welll....
