2007 Mazda 3 isport 2.0L
I've posted about this earlier but it's still persists.
My steering wheel is stiff at low speeds/rpms. It's manageable but I'm fairly certain that it's stiffer than it should be. I took it into the dealer and after driving around the parking lot, the guy said that it was normal and that Mazda3's usually have a sporty stiffer steering wheel. But I'm not sure it's supposed to be this stiff at low speeds.
Power steering fluid is at full. Recently had the PS system flushed.
I HAVE noticed, however, that when it rains, the steering is considerably lighter probably due to reduced friction with the tire. Could this mean I need to change my tires? Or could it be the PS pump? I'm confused.
