I've noticed that my steering wheel requires more effort when turning left vs. right. Steering works as it should and seems precise enough with no play, but the difference in left/right effort bugs me. Any idea what might be happening?

Have you checked the tire pressure?

If you're having trouble turning to the left, is it possible that your car has Republican tendencies?

Haha, nice one!

This could well be it, when I was in for an oil change the shop adjusted tire pressure. I think they did 36R, 32F. What is recommended for regular street driving?

^I think it depends on your wheel/tire size. I do 34F & 36R (on 16" wheels) and have found a few pounds makes a difference.

Update - I checked tire pressure and my mechanic looked at the steering rack and related parts, but couldn't find any obvious problems.

I'm somewhat stuck at the moment so any ideas would be much appreciated!

As I have posted on this-I am into my third rebuilt rack from 3 years ago-new pump-inlet and exit pipes-flushing the crap out of it!
I have stiff feeling at the wheel on left handers at slow speeds with hissing at the wheel! Plus ver hard to turn parking! This started years ago on 17 inch cups and now I have 18 inch bbs. So tires is not the issue or pressure! Please help and solve this.
Is their anything in the steering wheel-bushing??? or what nots that could cause this pain in the ****!
