   I have a black Citreon Saxo Forte 2001 Y-reg, believe it or not it hasn't got power steering (i know! but it's cool my arms get a work out)
   
   i took it to a garage recently because my car was screeching when I brake, so he took the wheels off and cleaned the drums and said that it should be better. And it is! which is good.
   
   but after that garage visit, my steering feels light, i mean it felt light before, almost like power steering when your driving, and felt harder when you're trying to park or do a three point turn, but now even when im parking or turning in the road it feels lighter than it did.
   
   I just wanted to know, should I be worried, or do you think it might be a case of my worked out arms have got used to not having power steering?

   Don't complain, unless you want huge arm muscles, keep that power steering feeling!
   
   Seriously though, its a light car, its suppose to be easy

   Did the garage pump up the front tyres?
