Front wheel drag

Joined: Aug 25, 2008 Posts: 1

I have a 2005 Subaru Forester all wheel drive that I bought used so I have no idea if this is normal or not. After driving for a while, and I park the car, when I first start to drive again and turn the steering wheel it feels like the front tires are dragging, it does it sometimes when I turn a cornor at slow speed after you start to drive too, but stops after you drive for a while. Is this normal for all wheel drive?

yes and no. i find that awd does bind a little, but it sounds more
like your power steering pump is a bit lazy, and not kicking in right
away. i would check the accessory belt for wear, and replace if
necessary, in case it's slipping, and possibly the power steering
hydraulics as well.
