I am posting this for a friend and hope someone can help him figure it out. He's got a 1995 Legacy wagon, with 68,000 original miles. It's got power steering, auto trans, no turbo. The problem: the car will shudder and shake in the front end, to the point of nearly killing the engine, when the steering wheel is turned lock to lock. This happens whether you turn left or right, and was first noticed when exiting a parking place. The car has had new engine mounts, and new belts. The alignment checks out OK. Tires and wheels are stock size and type. This man is an ex-engineer (now a physician) who takes exquisite care of his vehicles and this is driving him crazy! Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Most importantly, what does he do about it?
Many thanks!
