I really love my Jimny, it's an incredible car and a decent driver too, but the steering is just so slow and clunky, I'm starting to race in shifter karts and also have a BMW z3 and the difference is astounding, I understand now that I like quicker steering, no matter how heacy it is. Any way to make the little Jimny's steering faster?
(The box and steering system have been completely repaired, cleaned and filled with new fluids by a competent shop less than 2 years ago)
To add... I'm not saying there isn't a way. But its a bit like asking how can you increase the suspension flex on your Z3 so that you can take it off road.
It would require replacement of the steering box, which is probably not that difficult to do once you have located a suitable replacement with "faster" gearing.
So It isn't possible to modify the stock box or linkage system?
Another idea was to simply reproduce something like my kart's steering on the car, but that would come with some hefty tradeoffs I think.
Does removing the power steering belt cause problems to the other pulleys? By that I mean, do they get "unbalanced"? A friend of mine was doing stuff to his car (not a Zook) and without that belt the crank pulley started acting up.
