Stiff steering

Post by KarlP »

Hello I have pretty damn stiff steering to the right and its just pretty normal to the left. Could this be somthing to do with the EPS? I belive this is adjustable, but how do I do this?

Well these are new wheels, the old wheels did the same thing, so it wont be the tyre pressure.
