Default Steering?

i honda do my alignment an the steering wheel is really soft when turning. There is hardly any stiffness to the steering. I was wondering if adjusting the caster would improve the stiffness of the steering wheel? I think it was at 5 degrees i think if that how is measured.
Any in would help since i have to take it back on thursday. Thank you for any info.

you mean its softer than it was before? Probably because its aligned now. I think your tires will play more part in the steering stiffness than the caster would.

And iHonda is that like an iPod?

Stock caster is 6.

My alignment is 6 months old.. at least. That's why I need one. I can still turn the wheels with just the QR hub though.

Stock caster is 6. That does have something to do with steering effort.

yea the guy at the honda dealer was arguing with me that the caster could not be adjusted. An on top of that my valve cover is pealing off, so now they have to replace that to. BS
