6 months ago I bought a 1992 Impreza WRX STI. When I bought the car, the steering was precise and the suspension rock solid. Now there is more play in the steering by the day, and the car understeers and sags round corners. Does anybody know what the problem could be?

It could be that compared to your previous car, your new one felt a lot more prcise, and now you are getting used to it!

First thing to check is your tyre pressures! Even a few PSI can make a big difference to the steering feel and handling.

If all's well, then have a look at the suspension, checking the struts for leaks, checking that the bushes aren't perished etc. Probably best to get the car up on a ramp for this. Any half decent garage should be able to give the car a quick check and quickly spot anything thats wrong.
