Speaking of tech inspections, good thing I'm not going to the track any time soon... 50,500 mi and some weird steering issue pops up yesterday. Steering gets tough midway through a turn. OK for highway curves but noticeable on most 90-degree turns. And if I turn right, it will feel normal turning right again for about a half turn, but any small amount left or any more than a half turn right, and it will be tough. I noticed it as soon as I left the campsite yesterday morning, but it was all highway for the trip back, and it was very noticeable for my commute this morning which has a lot more hard turns. Steering fluid is OK. I would suspect the nearly worn tires except it seems to have come on overnight. I would suspect the uneven short dirt road or where I parked in the grass but I never heard anything bottom out. I wish mini would hurry up and offer that extended warranty. Any ideas from you guys?
