I first noticed a problem in my steering while driving in my neighborhood. The steering felt very light and crisp when I would turn to the left. When I would return to dead center and then turn the steering wheel to the right, the steering became very stiff. The next day when I started the car, the "power steering malfunction" light was on. Power steering was completely disabled at that time. Upon doing research I have found out that this is a very common problem with 2004 and 2005 RX8's.
