If the dealer failed to bring the pressure down from the high pressure used for shipping, the behavior you describe would be the result. Dan (This account is not used for email.)

	The 05 Civics is not going to be as sure footed as the previous model, simply because of the suspension design. Lower profile tires on 7' inch rims will improve highway stability (but be careful of those ultra performance tires that are sticky enough to pull the car from it's line...). Pars Dan,> Thanks.

	I investigated the same complaint ('02 Civic Si) in this newsgroup, and by asking the dealer to do an alignment (not warranty work). The dealer measured and said it wasn't needed. It has got a little better, or I have become conditioned to it, or the tires have "worn-in". It could be an issue caused by the "fly by wire" (electrical, believe it or not) steering of my particular model, or Honda engineers need to learn more about front suspension that doesn't use the double wishbone design. See below links for info. Possibly a little toe-in or positive caster would solve the issue. I seldom think of it anymore. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/longtech.htm http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/ http://www.advancedracing.com/grmart1.html "Jim" <jim@jpkara.com> wrote in message news:1113890840.295939.176510@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... \| Hi, \| \| I have a 2005 Civic LX 5 spd.

	Ditto....I had the same problem with my 2003 Civic Si. The electrical power steering is quite tight and requires more effort to keep it straight. No steering with one finger, that's for sure. I have gotten used to it though, and I kind of enjoy the tightness of the steering compared to my daughter's CRV.

	The Acura RSX (fundamentally the same as the Si) steering is of even higher effort.
