Steering bolt recall vehicle swaying?
I recently got my steering bolts recall done and I am noticing that there’s a bit more sway when on the highway and bit more disconnected feeling? Maybe its a placebo effect and because something was done, I am perceiving something different. I vaguely recall the gl had some sort of technology to counter act swaying from crosswinds. How can I determine if this is still functional? It does seem like I have to input more counter crosswind steering input than I previously had to but only because the before and after is fresh in my mind. I will naturally just get accustomed to the way its driving now and deal with it but it would be nice to understand how that crosswind correction on the car works and to figure out if it still active and functioning properly.

I can’t diagnose what happened when the steering bolts were replaced for potential placebo effect, but note that Crosswind Assist is a function of an entirely different system as it’s the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) that directs individual brake applications to counteract yaw.

Note that Crosswind Assist is deactivated if the entire ESP is turned off (the switch in the center instrument panel set of switches) or is disabled by a malfunction. If ESP is disabled by a malfunction you will typically see a warning message.
