The Subaru Forester may experience issues with its steering system such as a stiff steering wheel and leaks in the power steering fluid. Having responsive steering is crucial for maneuvering on the road, but problems can arise over time. There may be power steering fluid leaks, causing the steering to pull to one side or become stuck. Additionally, the strut bearings and rack mount may deteriorate, leading to steering pump problems. It is recommended to replace the power steering fluid every 75,000 miles and listen for any unusual noises coming from the steering components, as faulty bearings can produce irritating sounds.
