My 1992 Subaru Legacy L 4WD has an issue I need help figuring out; it slows down when turning sharply, in either direction, as in when turning into a parking place. Also when I am backing and turning sharply it sounds and feels as though it is applying the brakes. While turning sharply moving forward, I feel a vibration some times through the steering wheel. I just replaced front and back brakes, and there was no improvement. The boots on the CV are fine and I hear no clunking, the boots on the rack & pinion however are torn, also worth mentioning is the power light on the dash flashes more than 8 seconds at start up, indicating a transmission issue.
Any ideas what could be the problem?
