i was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem my car is virtually standerd its a 2002 bugeye and when a go round a roundabout the stearing does pull back straight i have to forse it cheers jam

 

Check the fluid level and also the condition of the belt.

 

fluid levels max and just had new belts

 

Alignment is off, very likely.

Power Steering has very little to do with returning the wheel to centre after a corner, the alignment has.
Also, wheels with a less then optimal ET value can exhagerate (sp??) the alignment problems

 

ive recently changed the wheels to light wieght prodrive 17' speedline but had them balance before put on car and before the power steering droped off it was making a clicking sound when doing a 3 point turn

 

Balancing a set of wheels is not the same as aligning the car.
First get the alignment checked (always a good idea, a good alignment will increase handling,can lead to lower tyre wear etc)

The ticking noise could be anything, a PSpump dying usually has more of a screeching sound. But I do not think the PS is gone, more likely the alignment is off (and the new wheels which may have a stiffer sidewall for example make the problem more easily felt)

 

ive had the alinement checked and it didnt need moving a mil could it be a bearing

 

If the alignment is ok then check the strut tops, they play a big part in the centering of steering.

Get your CV joints checked out for the clicking noise.

 

whats the diff between the sti steering reck and the wrx ...? and if i was gonna put the sti 1 on is there any mods have to be made or just blot on

 

ill get them checked and tell you how it goes cheers pete

 

My car ticks on a left turn. It's the cv joint, my cv boot has split.

 

ive put the front of my car on axle stands today and it is difficult to turn the steering wheel when i push my wheel side to side feels like something is sticking can anyone help
