Steering effort bias toward right turns

[loucas-2021]

I don't know if it's just me or if there's something to this, but I could swear that it takes more effort to turn right. During left turns, the steering feel a bit lighter. I have a neurological condition that affects my arms and legs, so there might be something there, but it seems like this came on at around 10k miles.

I have a 2021 GT PP with magneride. Only mod I've done to the car is to install a M-9603-M8B kit. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9603-M8B. Wouldn't affect steering any,

Has anyone else noticed anything similar, or any ideas as to why the steering would feel heavier turning right? Tire pressures are equal all the way around.

Check your alignment. If your caster is off it could cause a heavy steering wheel.

I had my alignment checked at 12k miles and they did find the car was slightly out of alignment so they performed an alignment. I don't think it has gone out of alignment since then though.

It could be lots of things. Caster would be one. Take it to a quality alignment shop, tell them what it is doing and let them figure it out.

Good Luck.

Looks like you are not too far from Steeda. They would figure it out.

One more vote for the alignment.

Did you view the alignment sheet? There are good and bad alignments. Also some cars come out of the factory with mismatched caster settings. Mine did. If it is higher on one side that could cause it to behave differently going left or right.

I did view the alignment sheet. It looked OK to me, but I'm no expert. Unfortunately I've lost all my car paperwork so I'm unable to recheck it....
