Status: offline 		ok i have a buddy that has the exact outy as me the only diffrence is i have the homade lift kit in the front about 1 1/2". When i jump on his outy his steering feels so much lighter and easer to turn than mine. mines takes so much effort and all day riding beats the **** out of my arms. does anyone know why the sterring is so tight? Do you think adding that lift kit made my steering that much harder to turn?


ANY ADVISE THERE JOHN C?

Ya i hear ya.... my buddys o7 gade and 08 outy both steer about the same with no or little effort at all. Then theres mine where it feels like im in 4 wheel drive all the time. i dont get it but it sure would be nice if there is a fix for it my arms take a beating over this in long rides

my buddy has 27" 589's on his renegade.  i had 27" 'zilla's on my outlander.  his feels like it has power steering compared to mine.  forget about it now that i put the 29.5x12's up front on my outy, but i think it should be better than it is.
