cherokee steering - are they all a bit vague?
« on: January 29, 2012, 06:30:24 PM »

Had a chap come look at my Cherokee and he said that the steering was vague.  Now this is my 2nd XJ and they were both a bit vague.  Its not lifted and has Goodyear ATs.  I just thought they were all like that.

Are they not a bit vague as standard?  I never noticed anything untoward myself.

Thanks.  Its not long.had an mot so I would have thought if anything.was.worn in the steering it would show up as an advisory.

I always thought it was all part of the experience.  What Alfa drivers refer to as "character" :)

If he thinks a Cherry has vague steering then he needs to try a CJ.

The XJ is like an F1 car in comparison.

It don't happen often but I've got to agree with Panic, sounds like he's never driven something without rack & pinion.

after spending the last three months driving a mondeo, now driving the jeep sand the steering is crap in comparison. once your used to it there is no reason for complaints.
