Default How light is your 5th gen steering on highway?

Hey there guys! I have a quick question.

I recently got the chance to drive highway and can't help but wonder. Why is my steering so light? I moved the steering wheel 1/4 of an inch and give me a lot of steering. So I'm just wondering how light is your steering? Is it just an old car that is like that or???

I am planning to get an alignment to hopefully help solve this issue. I noticed that my steering wheel is kinda crooked to the right if going straight. Will the alignment place recenter my steering wheel? What prices should I pay approx?

Your Hondas steering should be "light" like that on the highway, but not without some feedback from the road. luxury cars tend to have almost zero feed back and it drives me nuts.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to get your steeringwheel alligned back up, should be somewhere around 50 bux for just a front end allignment...

Just a thought, shot bushing in the suspention can make the steering feel extra light and loose???
