    Heavy steering

    I have this issue for several years now. Maybe since I've bouht this tungy.
    Steering is very heavy when I'm parking. Even hard to turn with 2 hands. But only on very low speeds.
    Once car is in normal driving, I do not feel it heavy.
    Car is oem height, 13" oem wheels, yoko A048 (semi slick). Pressure 1.8bar.
    It is not sticking. It's just heavy. No strange sound.
    What to check? Could it be the column bushes? The rack?
    If the front is on jacks it is easy to turn.

    they are very heavy anyway
    if your colum or rack were bent it would be tight in spots
    you might have too much camber or castor??

    As I remember all those are set to default. Ph1 suspenion.
    But I might take it to a check to measure those settings.

    If I'm in the garage which has synthetic resin the steering is easy.
    So it should be the Yokos.
    I've checked the pressure once more. And it was 1.6bar all around. I've blown them to 2.0bar and it is already way much better.
