Default Steering advice :)

Noticed over the past few days this happens.

Say you come to a roundabout, a small one and turn right, there is like a resistance in the wheel, hard to explain, like a rubbing? Now im not sure if its the wheels (team dynamic 17" pcd 114 i think as i need spacers so the sit on the hub) it happens when turning left too. Its not a fluid motion when turning but its fine out of junctions, notice it more when taking tighter turns. Like i say hard to explain but if anyone could shed any light i would be mucho grateful

The car is a 96 import with new shocks and eibach springs. I 'think' it has a few sti bits, front arms on the front etc

Dan.

If the belt is slipping it can feel like someone tugging on the steering as your going round corners
