Yes mate even when turning at say 30mph into a bend you feel feedback through the wheel and a vibration which is quite severe.

The guy that sold me the car says it is the way they are as the diff is very aggressive.

It is scottdots old sti7 which is 400bhp which rajaman just sold me on here

Could be that it has a different diff installed but that certainly doesnt sound right for a stock transmissioned STI7

just had a search through scoobynet posts for vibration on cornering and some people say is could be turbo heatshield hitting steering column on cornering or downpipe as it has a 3 inch downpipe fitted.

May have to get it looked at, hope there is no problem with diff or anything as this is the last thing i want after just buying the car

Could be lots of things (Wheel bearing, CV joint, The dif etc.. etc..), Best bet would be to find a *good* garage and let them have a look.
