Thks for all your input. It's my first time buying car, so lots of thing I don't know... The car is a manual one, fitted with a 14' rim and nomo steering wheel. Though it has power steering, the steering feel heavy. The agent said this is due to the 14' rim and the nomo steering wheel and offered to change to the original ones.
Does the rim and steering wheel has a bearing on it???? Will changing the rim or the steering wheel improve the handling?? Thks.
ya wheel have wheel bearing... when u test drive go up to 3rd gear, hear for any funny sound comes from the wheel anot.. sometime wheel bearing might be spoil... as for steering heavy... hmmm i not sure though, cos i drove a few cars b4, and nvr had steering wheel heavy b4.. lol.. perhaps the wheels and rims are heavy?
