Steering feel

4WD. Goodyear SRA tires

 

Does everyone feel like they can feel every road imperfection through the steering wheel?

 

It just seems like I could run over a fly and feel it in the steering wheel.

 

Is this a normal feel for the trucks?

20"'s and 22" have less sidewall and will therefore transmit all bumps more easily. One of the main reasons I had them take the 20's off the truck and put 18's on.

Strange how the same trucks can be so very different.

18" SR-A's with 33 psi, and I don't now, and have never felt squat in the steering wheel. Even in the summer when the air is up around 35-36.

I could feel a penny if it were laying in the road. Sometimes when the setting sun is just right I can see the "ripples" in the pavement and that's when I got a little less stressed out about it being a mechanical problem. I think it's got something to do with the electric power steering feel along with the trucks being stiffer. Now, the vibes I get on coast down after letting off throttle I believe to be something else. Rear ring gear lash, drive shaft, prop shaft, who knows?

I do not think I would feel that in my deuce and half.

Yeah this has been discussed a LOT on this forum. This is a pretty typical attribute of this truck.

I've got a Honda I've had since 1998 with 215/35ZR18 tires and stupid stiff suspension where I can fell a #10-32 nut in the road, so to me this thing has no bumps feeding back through the wheel. For that reason I might not count. haha
