    what can i do to make my car turn using less street. because i know for sure my turn are super wide. when i make my u-turn i use up like all of the street in those streets that are made for u-turns. its like turning a truck but only its a celica. so yea, what can i do to shorten that.

    yeah my car has a pretty large turning radius too, especially compared to my friends 240...kind of frustrating at times isnt it? i think its that way with all of them.

    lmao!

    basically he was joking saying disconnect your power steering lol and i can tell you from experience if you did that and your struggling to turn now you wouldnt even be able to change lanes lol.
    as mafix said get your allignment done. Wheel allignments are always taken for granted having all 4 wheels pointing stright does wonders for handling, tire wear, traction and econemy.
