Sti stiff/hard steering
 
Hi just brought myself a 03 uk sti

my 5th Subaru impreza I have had ...awesome car 329 bhp but the steering is heavy/stiff and Its not the 4 wheel alignment just had that done ??

Is the steering heavier/stiffer then classics/ WRX (lowered tho) as only had them and this seams a lot heavier?

think it has a anti lift kit on ?? could it be that??


Any help would be great .....thanks

Andy

Congrats
Maybe Power steering pump on way out or aux/pas belt might need tightening hopefully it's not been drenched with wd40 as some numptys think that cures a squeak on the belts ...

Or could be simple as your tyre pressures could be set too low maybe :wonder:

Antilift kit shouldn't make the steering more stiff but more responsive imo

Are the Blobeye STI heavier/stiffer steering from the factory compard to WRX ?
or are they basically the same ?

Thanks
