Hi All,

I feel the PS in my TJ wagon is quite light and was wondering if the PS assist is adjustable in any way. i.e. can I dial it back at all?

Also, I thought the PS in the TJ was light at low speed/parking and then meant to stiffen up once you're moving. True or not?

Thanks.

As far as I know buddy, There is no way to "adjust" the power steering unless you use a ralliart power steering pump (or TL was it?) which was meant to give a different feel, I think they made later model pumps to not be as so "light"

Someone will confirm which model though

Maybe investigate fitting a larger pulley or a smaller pump - you need to lower the hydraulic pressure.

Thanks for the comments guys.. maybe I'll just have to get used to it. I've only had it a week. :)

The pre TL/KL (except TJ Ralliart) has a pump that provides too much assistance which also causes a lack of on-centre feel. You can fit a pump from a TJ Ralliart or any post J series magna/verada.
