Yes, it is variable effort in all SSEi'* for sure.
But Bill'* 95 has the TV2 RPO for the two valve electronic as well...Thats really intresting as to why. Bill you have done a fair ammount of front end work to your 93 have you not? suspension, ball joints..that kinda thing?

I can't believe no one else said it. "Yes Bill..you are nuts!, LilPookey is merely agreeing with you to make you happy" (j/k)

Are the pump rates different between the years? That could account for the difference.

Dr. Bob had mentioned that 96+ were programmable to a degree and he had his programmed for firmer response.

From what I have seen the newer gen variable assist 96+are adjustable, but are usually set in a good spot to begin with..
Bill..maybe the 95'* power steering system is a little bit gummed up? Maybe a system flush would help clear out some of the crap...?

Steering wheel cover? I've got one right now and it reduced steering effort by moving my hands a little further out.

Ok, my cover matches the interior as close as I could find. It'* just there to cover up the fact that the "leather" on my steering wheel is coming off in little pieces and turning black.

The upgraded suspension on the 93 should make no difference in a straight cruise on the freeway, and the steering difference is very obvious in that situation. Alot more steering input is required on the 95, but there'* no looseness.
