S13 - No steering response..

[dex]

Warning Noob: Umm Hi guys, I always browsing through this forum for technical help and this time I just couldn't find the information I need.

I've got a S13 Silvia K imported, with Tein HA coilovers, front and rear strut bars and Yokohama Parada tires... I've got the car inspected twice, aligned twice, etc etc... everyone keeps on telling me that everything is fine (when the car is on a lift)... But on the highway it's a totally different story.. Car has no steering response at all :wiggle: , i've looked different things (Camber plates ajustement, bushings, etc...) everything seems fine, I did order new tension rods as the one i have, the bushings could be a little better...

Would anyone here have an idea of whats going on? I just feel like the car is gonna take off and fly when on the highway.. Thanks!

Are you talking about a dead spot? Mine has about an inch of play because one of the bolts broke off which holds the steering column in place, maybe one of those is loose?

Also most drift cars feel awkward on the highway, even after alignment (though usually it's because of more suspension, tie rods, etc, then you have).

i'll look into that... it is a kind of dead spot yes... I mean.. I already drove an S13 with almost the same setup as me and it felt like a go-kart... My car feels more like a old Pontiac Parisienne

maybe the steering bushing?

watch the tire when you turn the wheel and see if there is proportional movement
