Very sensitive quick steering ... (1 Viewer)

[cwmoser]

I am use to driving my 2002 LX470.
Took my son's 2004 Land Cruiser out for a drive and noted that his steering is much quicker.
Not sure is there is something amiss or its normal.
Could it be something to do with the Front End Alignment?

Steering rack was changed to variable gear in 2003.

I thought VGRS, was 2003+, but Lexus only…

When I purchased my son’s 00 LC, the steering felt very different from my 06 LX (which does have VGRS). Much of the issues on my son’s LC were related to too much lift, too little caster, and worn parts in the front suspension/steering.

LX470: 2002+
Land Cruiser: 2005+

That makes things interesting. I stand corrected.

I guess I should’ve prefaced my statement with “In the US market”

It could be as simple as tire pressures.
