Benching over 250lbs will do this too! Slow down on them vitamins? Protein shakes? Just having fun with it, dont mind! |

Sometimes a bad alignment can make the steering feel very off. Or possibly a tire that has become asymmetrical or with a slipped belt. Rule those out first.

Did you hit any curbs lately? Even lightly brush any curbs?

Have the dealer do an alignment, more than likely for some reason you have too much negative toe on the front end causing the car to wander/feel vague.
It is possible that after the suspension bushings, springs, and spring seats settled in the angles changed a little. You would be surprised at how much of a difference the alignment can have on how a car feels and how it interacts with the roadway. |

Also the 86's features of the VSC Sport mode affects steering, if you're driving with the VSC mode on for a few days then turn it off the steering will feel different.

Ahaha thanks for the great (and funny) replies guys. Yes, I DO lift, and 250lbs is no probs on bench press LOL, but I'm not that much of a unit (I'm a track 100m sprinter actually lol).
Tyre pressure checked in at 240-250kPa while warm on all 4 tyres. Ozzman, thank you for the info. That tends to make a lot of sense honestly. And LOL - I DO realise that YES I might just be getting used to the car - but a sign that it's different is that today, yesterday and the day before, I have had to hard lock the wheel all the way to the right or left when exiting shopping mall car parks etc.. Something I'd not had to do a single time until 4 days ago... lots of travel in the turning for little actual steer affect. And LOL at the power steering fluid comment. I looked but couldn't find where to top it up :P

I took mine on about 140km drive today... at higher speeds the problem isn't as bad, but to me there is a slight delay before the car responds to my steer. ie: if I'm doing 100 on the highway and give it a little nudge to either side, there's a small delay before it actually nudges the steer.
