My friend drove my car for a bit, and he's complaining that my steering is "wonky". It is super loose when the car is stopped, and then when its driving its less loose. by loose i mean easy to turn. He's sayin it aint normal. What do you guys think?

If it tracks straight, doesn't leak and doesn't wander or pull, then it's all good.

what size of tire do you have on car? if you have skinny tires it will turn hella easy!

Im just sayin it gets hard sometimes then goes soft, but my friend made a huge deal about it. I think its cause the fluid is a bit low, but im makin sure theres nothing you guys can think of that might be a big deal. Also, the alignment is a bit off, and im gona fix that next week.

It could be a malfunctioning speed sensor. We have a speed adaptive power steering system on our cars. At full stop, you have full power. Once you get moving, power decreases with speed, to a point where there's almost no power assist.

Low fluid will cause variable assist.
