Default Steering Problems

Hey guys

Car is a 1998 wrx 120,000kms

I find that when turning to the left with speed or load the steering seems to hit full lock at about half a turn, you can force it past but it feels really tough and dodgy.
The steering alignment seems fine. Only under load or speed it does this and i have no problem turning to the right.

The car has no unusual noise and is well looked after.

Any ideas?
Cheers

check the mounts for the steering rack. It is attached to the front crossmember under the engine, behind the sump. Also check for leaks in the power steering hydraulics
