GAG Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I just got a 2014 SE and love it, but the steering is a bit sluggish and harder than I would expect. Any adjustment to the assist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 No adjustment. When does it feel sluggish - at low speed (in a parking lot) or on the highway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 What is your previous or other vehicle? The 2011-2014 Edge (not sure of the 2077-2010) generally have a noticeably heavier steering than average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Oh wait - that doesn’t have the adaptive steering, does it? In that case it’s either normal or your steering rack is bad. Try another 2011-2014 Edge for comparison if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAG Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 thanks. Low speed is most notable. May be normal for the 2014, just feels like sport mode(heavier is a better term than sluggish); definitely not comfort mode. No adaptive steering. I've had trucks that steer lighter.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Power steering fluid looks good? Level is good, color is good, smells like ATF should? I would suggest a power steering "flush" first to see if that makes a difference. Very basic DIY process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Check tire pressure? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAG Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yep. Yep. and Yep. I think it may be normal for this model year. I might up the pressure in the front tires. I did add 1-2 oz. of Bestline Powertrain Lub to the res, and get a steering wheel cover for better grip. The steering wheel is a bit small and too smooth for my liking. Thanks for your advice.
