    Steering is too soft. Stering Bushing

    Has anyone changed the stearing bushing? My VX has been in way too many off-road trips. So, my stearing has become a bid too soft and not very responsive? As anyone here replaced theirs?

    MauganVX posted an easy method for tightening up your VX's steering. I haven't done it yet, but it's on my list.

    Nice one Scott.... is there any appreciable negative effect by tightening or loosening it, being on the power steering pump, etc....?

    I had just about done this before but it would have been pretty hard to get to. Now that I don't have the stock airbox anymore, it was real easy with a 17mm wrench and straight-slot screwdriver. Takes almost no time. So if you have the airbox, take it out to make it easier. Again, very quick and easy. There are three 12mm bolts in the bottom of the box. I just did the steering adjustment and will drive it soon and see how it goes and make small adjustments if necessary.
