just posted this in the technical section then saw this st page.....
hi new to the forum,i am looking to buy a 2006 focus st i was meant to go pick it up sometime this week but yesterday he messaged me and told me that on a cold start the steering is stiff for a few minutes until the engine warms up,says he took it to a garage where they told him there was nothing wrong with the power steering pump and checked fluid they then told him that the top mounts were dry and needed changing.......has anyone ever heard of this and can knackered top mounts effect the steering stiffness?
any help and info would be appreciated
cheers
