Hi guys wonder if anyone could shed some light on a little but annoying problem with my Scoob. When i turn steering wheel either direction (but seems worse on the right) the brakes stick really hard! Bizarre i know! I then have to turn steering wheel to neutral position and accelerate and it bumps and then moves freely. Anyone help?? My car is 06 Blob Sti Thanks chaps

Yes Stig. Standard Brembo's. Discs ok and pads changed in July at 6 year service. Car is lowish mileage 44k and not abused! Weird but i just dont want to do any damage. If i'm reversing i do an 8 point turn!

Ah ok, thankyou Alyn. Defo worth looking into.... How is this solved???

If it was sticking pistons it wouldn't really do it just on turning , they would be sticking all the time ??

Wheels bearings ?

Thanks Ian. Well to be honest i can't feel they are sticking all the time. Would it be noticable?

if they were sticking, the discs and even wheels would be very hot after a short drive. have you turned it to full lock both ways to have a look to see if a brake line is being kinked or stretched?

Are the wheels rubbing on full lock making it feel like the brakes are binding?
