Squealing on start up and juddering steering wheel
 
Had this for a while now on 2003 wrx when starting up. Is this a case of topping up power steering fluid?

It will be you power steering and a.c. belts.probably need tightening or replaced.

had the exact same u can pick both up for £30

Along with the belts, you would be better off changing the PS fluid as well as it is something that doesn't get done on any sort of regularity/schedule.
Turkey baster/large syringe is the simplest method.

This is what it will probably be but mine was the timing belt about to give way - maybe worth just removing a cover and checking :thumb:

FYI Gates are probably your best bet, I had Dayco belts on both my hawk and FSTI and it didnt matter what I tried they squeaked in the cold weather.

Ah ok. Timing belt has been done recently so I think it is just power steering. Are the belts easy to replace and topping up the fluid all quite straight forward.

HKS do make uprated Kevlar ones but they are the guts of £80 if you wanted to go all out. But tbh its overkill

I have literally just had this problem and resolved it, I didn’t use a turkey baster as I thought this was a **** idea, I used a brake vac pump drain the reservoir disconnect it vaced the lines out and pulled new comma fluid round, couldn’t believe the transformation. Hav a look at the pics below
