Subaru: Steering Problem on Brand New 2003 Legacy Wagon

Usually indicates you need a front end alignment. Check with your dealer...
not a big problem.

I just got a 2004 Forester and I don't have that problem.

My '02 Legacy wagon had a slight pull to the right when I first got it.
Steering wheel was even rotated about 3 or 4 degrees off center. Turned out
to be an alignment issue, which they corrected no charge. I'd take it in
soon, however... alignments aren't usually a warranty item, so if you wait
5000 miles they might say "You've driven it for awhile, you must've knocked
it out of alignment while driving." Plus misalignment can mess up your tire
wear.

Get it handled now. No sense scrubbing rubber off your tires
and lessening the enjoyment of your new car. I have a '99
Legacy wagon and it's tracked perfectly from day one and
still does with 86k on the clock so it's not something
you should have to put up with.

Also consider the possibility that it's not alignment. A sprung
frame from shipping damage comes to mind, though it's pretty
unlikely.

In any case, get the dealer to fix it.

Uneven tire pressure will do it, too.
