Default Steering. Normal?

Hey there guys. I'm just wondering. My 96 Accord EX coupe 4cyl might have a steering issue problem. Whenever I go on freeways or just driving fast, my steering seems to have lots of feedback on the steering wheel. And the steering is very light. Is this normal on 5th gen? I drove my parents 01 Accord LX and my brother's RSX and it was fine. Little feedback.

Also is there anyway to flush or do maintenance on the power steering? I know most if not all components on a car are serviceable; brakes, clutch, cooling system, etc....

Thanks!

Anyone can answer this? How about this. How is the steering on 4th or 5th gen?

feedback = jiggling around?

mayhaps an alignment would help? when was the last time it was aligned?

how's the tread on the tires? (even or uneven)

etc

Lots of feedback would be the wheel wanting to stay centered. Alignment specs would be helpful here.
