I just recently bought my 350z and right away I noticed how much force is needed to turn the wheel left and right when I'm turning.

I am just wondering is this how it is for every 350z? Or is there something that I need to fix, repair, or replace?

Thanks for all your help guys I appreciate it

What kind of car are you comparing it to? My civics steering was much lighter, so is my dd sentra. Overall i think the Z is a rough car, steering, clutch, shifter, etc, but i love it! It feels like a real mans car

my nissan maxima.
after driving my new 350z for a week now, i went back to my nissan maxima today to go somewhere and the steering wheel felt unbelievably sensitive compared to the 350z -_-

do i need steering wheel oil or something?

The most performance cars have stiff steering; especially the Z. If I'm on a track, canyon road, or just driving and I need to swerve, I want stiffer steering. It (for me) prevents from over steering.

check power steering system. Is stiff, but its not THAT stiff, any whining when you turn the wheels?

your maxima is FWD, will feel totally different than a z btw.

Mine is pretty stiff compared to most other cars iv driven, I really like it.

To check that you're in spec, at least when it comes to the 08 model, it's 66 in-lb of pulling force. You can measure it with a fish weight scale.

Check your tire pressures.
