Steering seems stiff

Does anyone know if the steering in the G37 basic is different than the journey? My Girl has a basic and it is way easier to steer than my journey. The Basic feels like true power steering but my journey feels like RandP. I also had two G35's and do not remember the steering in them being so stiff.

Maybe your GF is stronger than you are and "broke In" her steering better and faster than you did...












Just kidding... Mine feels normal to me though...

Should be the same. You might want to check your power steering fluid if you haven't already. Also is this only when you first start the car or all the time? Just wondering if it gets better when your car warms up.

Maybe but I wouldn't think it would be noticeable. I wonder though.

I do think the steering is stiffer than the G35 was, but IMO I like the stiffness. Hard to say just from your description if what you feel is normal or a problem. I'd recommend you take it in just to confirm.
