Steering 50i vs 40i
My 50i has suffered from the cold weather steering problem that a number of people have had. I’ve also noticed the steering is fairly stiff all the time and not as nimble as I would like.
Today I took the 50i in for service (other issues) and I was given a 40i loaner. Night and day difference between the two. Have others noticed a difference in the steering between the two? My 50i is MSport and the 40i loaner is not. Thanks |

50i is much stiffer and takes more muscle to turn. It is also more sensitive to adjustments.
40i reminds me of the F15 steering except it’s a tad more accurate. |

50i also has 300-400lbs more over the fron/reart axles so there's more to move. Most of this is from the V8 up front so it'll feel much heavier.

I have the loose steering issue in my 4.0 - don't think it's weather related, as it's happening even when 65 degrees out.
Only way to describe it is that it eels as if the wheels aren't aligned and/or some part of the suspension/drivetrain is loose. |
