Default need help with a few things

1. When im driving after a while the steering wheel feels a bit STIFF. It is still ok. It doesnt become REALLY stiff, i guess its just my preference to be realy smooth.. But i was just wondering what could be the problem. The power steering fluid is ok

2. when i drive and use NO hands or BRAKE HARD with no HANDS. my teg turns left SLIGHTLY. what could be the problem?


3. i just installed my HID...everything looks great but i feel like i want to raise them a little higher.... Should i just stick with the factory settings? I dotn want to blind anyone

2. need alignment.
3. just raise it up a bit, if you start getting high beamed then lower it a bit. also can park up infront of a wall and there are actually specs to how high/low the cut off should be, but if you have hid's in stock housing it will be hard to adjust since light goes everywhere.

Well number 2 could also be a braking problem. If the caliper is sticking it will pull when you brake, because when you left off the brakes it does not return fully like the other side does, so when you step on the brakes again, it's all ready there, it could also be a flex line that will cause that

check your front lower and upper ball joints. if they are bad they could also be the cause of 1. or 2. but usually if it's the cause it would also make a squeeking noise.
