I just drive a rx200t and wonder surprise about rx200t 's steering wheel. It was comforter than nx. My nx steering wheel is stiff and heavy. Dont know why, just 13000km on ODO. Something wrong with the Nx steering wheel?

If you are referring to the fact that your car feels like it is harder to steer keep in mind that the NX uses electrically assisted power steering. You may have a problem that the dealer should look at.

I've noticed the same with my 2016 NX. Emailed the dealer and was told that:

"The steering is speed sensitive due to electric steering module. As you move faster, the steering is designed to tighten up. At low speed, it loosens up as designed.The ‘fighting’ to neutral steering position is due to the FWD characters i.e. Torque Steer. It is likely that you may take a few days to get used to it."

Not sure if it applies... when I test drove the RX350 F-Sport, the steering wheel was effortless, could turn with a finger. For the NX, its tighter, but its not something I have an issue with.

Most likely it's just different tuning. NX is more for the younger crowd which tend to want a more sporty feel, especially if you have the F sport.

Problem solved. 4 tires pressure: 32-34 psi. I pump the tires up to 39psi. The steering wheel is light now. But i think i must to check pressure every week

Yikes! thats a bit high, keep in mind that tires in optimal operating temp will be +3 to 5psi. It may also cause uneven tire wear and less grip since the tread is less on the ground.

Are you driving with the Drive Mode Selector in "Sport"? Changes the shift pattern and weights the steering.

You should follow the recommendation of the sticker on the drivers side door when it comes to tire pressure. Pressure should always be checked after the car has set overnight for best results. As the tires heat up the pressure will increase. I find the same issue with regard to speed sensitivity. Trying to make high speed turns might not be good for your health

Actually, based on my observations regarding tire wear, I find the best pressures to be usually 5psi higher than what it states on the doors or in the manuals. Those figures seem to be prioritizing comfort, but resulting in the outsides of the tires wearing out faster. When I put it 5 psi higher, I get much better mileage, and very even tire wear across the entire width. The harshness definitely goes up a little, but I find it tolerable.

Hi. my nx 200t has single led headlight, i found on taobao.com, and want to upgrade to full led headlight. So is that possible to do?
