"loose" steering feel?

do your cars have that loose feel? i'm not talking about loose as in it's going to come off the steering column. I guess i'm talking more about the handling. is there some way to make it feel tighter? could it be an indication that i need to change the power steering belt?

the loose feeling means change the suspension components. Our cars dont have the tightest handling. Upgrade with new sways, springs/shocks etc.... That'll stiffen it up a little.

yeah, this is what i mean. I've been driving a TSX for about a week now and the steering feel on that is much tighter than how my CL feels. I was just wonder if it's just now the car is or is it something else.
