I have 116,000 mi. on my shocks and was wondering if that can have an effect on steering feel. Lately it seems my steering is too light, or has too much play. Can it be something else affecting it?

Are you still running stock suspensions from 94?



Alot of your suspensions have affects on your steering. Maybe its time for you to upgrade your spring/struts/bushings/etc.



Also check your PS fluid level.

Well i have the original shocks (base model) with eibach pro kit springs. My power steering fluid hasn't been replaced in a while but the level is about right. How often is the recommended time period to change it out?
