Default WJ Overland steering heavy??
Have just bought a 2004 WJ Overland, upgraded from ZJ. Noticing that the steering is a fair bit heavier than the ZJ, it's not a truck, but definitely noticeable. I'm Mrs spotty dog 360, (so all you blokes out there thinking weak chick arms.... I've driven V8's for 20 years, Hornet, Javelin, Valiants). Mr Spotty drives ZJ and has noticed the difference as well. (Not just me being a wuss with a busted elbow). Has anyone else noticed this difference between them or is it just something to get used to....or get fixed??
Other than that small issue it kicks ass!! Loving the extra power, very perky. Getting it put on gas next month (after some research!) oh well, will just burn through some fuel playing in the mean-time.
