Power Steering harder to turn for manual vehicles?
Is a manual vehicle with power steering harder to turn than a automatic vehicle with power steering?
I have a 97 Civic Hatchback CX model. I recently installed A/C and Power steering. I replaced the rack with a newly refurbished power steering one and used Honda power steering fluid. There are no leaks, no bubbles in the reservoir, and I followed the proper procedures. However, the steering still feels a little stiffer than my friends automatic 98 Civic EX.
Could it also be because my steering wheel is smaller than average?
Heres my video:
