Hi all, i have a steering ? first of my suspension setup is cusco zero 2e i bought them used and left them how i received, i have stock se rims and cusco rucas and all other arms are stock.My steering wheel is cocked to the left when im driving straight, i was told on here that a wheel alignment would fix that issue, my main concern is that the steering wheel doesn't feel easy to turn if that makes any sense i also drive a sti and the steering wheel moves freely its almost like i have a lack of power steering, the fluid is full but i never changed the power steering belt, reason being is that auto zone couldn't find a match does anyone have a cross reference part # for that belt or does anyone have suggestions thanks

if your alignement is wack, then it will be tough to turn for sure. Get it aligned and go from there.

Do in alignement first. Double check you power steering pump. And here is a part # for a power steering belt K040350. That for SR20 I think KA,SR are the same part #

You have a IRS. You can't just get a thrust angle alignment as if you had a live axle(torsion beam, FWD). You have to get a 4-wheel.
