Default Steering wheel feels a bit heavy...

It could just be because I got another vehicle with much lighter steering, but I still think it's heavier than it used to be, especially when driving slow and trying to park and stuff. What can I take a look at to make sure everything is alright?

thats usually desireable. faster lighter steering usuall feels quite a but less controllable.

Checked both. They are fine. Power steering fluid is a reddish clear color. I don't know what else to check. I let my friend drive it, who has driven a 350z before too, and he also thought it was heavy. It is most noticeable when you are going less than 10mph. It is not as bad when going normal speeds, but still not the same.
