20 mph= impossible to turn wheel!

ok, so i got new Yokohama H4's, 6.5" wide. I noticed, after breakign them in... they get great grip, but when going about 20 and try slaloming, all of a sudden it's IMPOSSIBLE to turn the wheel really hard and fast. It becomes sooo resistant. Is that my body like flexing too much? Or extra sway or sumthing? Cause wow, when I start auto crossing next summer, i can't have that kinda stuff happen!!!! Tell me what yah think!

Let me guess....you were in 1st gear...<p>
The power steering system works off of engine rpm. The more rpm, the less assit, and it'll lose power after repeated back and forth motions...ala slaloms. Been there, it sucks, and theres no easy way to fix it. My advice? Shift to 2nd

that's exactly it. wow, thanx guys. That's so wierd !!! I guess I'll hafta use it's crappy low-endless torque to pull me through slolams.

If they have a slalom that small, complain to the course designer
