Default Newbi 4S question

Just got an 09 C4S w 53k miles (hoping that relatively low for this car) on it. My question is, should you feel any resistance when you're at full lock at a few miles an hour? IE: turning out of a tight parking garage. A similar feeling you'd have when you have 4WD on a truck and everything is locked and your at full lock. I don't think this AWD system works like that but wanted to ask. Just doesn't feel super smooth when turning at full lock.

TIA and apologies if the question is vague.

I have an 09 C4S and at slow speeds (under 5mph) I get the same feeling.

Had the same thing on my -09 PDK C4S. Went away quickly though as I got the car moving past crawling out of the garage.

If you're backing up at full lock, the combination of caster and camber will tend to make the tires scrub a bit. It feels like the front end is wallowing. Normal.
