Hi

My car is quite old now and the steering feels very light. Car has been checked and there is absolutely no play anywhere. The dealer told me that with 216000km, the steering pinions are a bit worn so the steering feels lighter than when new. I'd like to know if it is possible to pour an ATF fluid with a higher viscosity in the power steering in order to "stiffen" the steering?? Is there different viscosities available for ATF? Will it damage the power steering pump if the fluid has a higher viscosity than now?

Thanks
