Default steering problems (bugeye)

Hey guys

Having a bit of worry with my steering as of late and more noticeably in the mornings on start up basically feeling stiffness through the steering wheel on full left and right lock, also if this makes sense when i turn corners sorta hard if feels like it hits understeer quite early and then sorta jolts back.

but as car warms up it starts to loosen up a bit and doesnt feel as crazy, should i be worried?

also ASG advised me that my suspension is pretty much done both shocks and springs so not sure if this has anything to do with this problem.

Check your Power Steering Fluid?

But with Suspension issues. Definitely get it checked out

Steering and suspension issues 'should I be worried', short answer is a very sharp YES!

Get it checked out!

Take it to your workshop and let them check it out. How are your tyre pressures?

Im having the same problems in my MY99 WRX right now.

I am getting HSD HR Coilovers as soon as they are in stock.

I have checked my Power Steering Fluid and there is plenty.

My tyre pressures are higher than what the 'Recommended' is on the door panel.
