My tC has been in the shop for approx a month. I just got it back yesterday. I've noticed the steering is considerably stiffer. I test drove a tC of a friend's to make sure it wasn't just in my head.

The body shop repaired the rear quarter panel. I don't think they had any reason to touch the steering. Could the stiffness be a result of the car sitting in the shop for a month or could they have done something? Will time remedy the situation?

no one? :(

if it doesnt feel right it probably isnt right. take it back to the shop and ask them.
