PLEASE HELP: Problem with service and steering. - Page 2

No, torque steer is not normal. There was a whole thread on that recently.

My glove box rattles too, but I haven't bothered to try fixing it. Some foam weatherstripping ought to do the trick.

I have the same problem as well. I attribute it to the spring setup. Just too much weight transfer off the front wheels during acceleration that I think leads to a nervous, twitchy feeling especially around corners. You can feel the car 'push' on-throttle and then bite back off-throttle.

Oh, and I just wanted to add that I have had an alignment at 400 miles on the car and while it did correct the 'STi-factory-pull-to-the-left' as some others have experienced as well, the car still displays the same behavior as stated above. I am now at 1300 miles.

I am positive that springs alone would remedy this.

Throttle-lift oversteer. Yes, it's pretty pronounced in the stock setup. The Cobb front swaybar fixed it for me.
