Power steering (stiff)
 
The steering on my uk turbo has started to feel tight, the fluid level is fine but in parts of the turning lock it feel tight.

Any ideas :wonder:

My steering kept going tighter and then on occasions felt judery when turning on the spot, when i investigated my aux belt was slightly loose and the hotter it got the looser it became so just fitted a new belt everythings been fine since.

yeh id check the belt first.also when was the oil last changed as it can degrade over time.

Well, ya know what? This post is mine all over too! LOL
My 03 WRX has started doing the same, even though it was on the minimum i topped up the fluid and of course it aint no better. Mine seems to be ok if i start the car then sit for a few seconds before pulling off. Anyway, i think a new belt is in order. lol

check your steering cross joint

I'll check the belt first to see if theirs any noticeable issue, it's strange as some times it's kind of fine and others it's very dangerous it can catch you out.
