Default hard steering

when i try to make a turn, there is like a hard resistance and the steering wheel wants to go in the opposite direction and if i muscle it and keep turning, the tires start to chirp.. whats wrong?? and if i try to park and i creep in slowly into the parking stall, and i press on the clutch, sometimes the car would stop and when i gas it to move forward it sometimes makes a single thud sound.. what the hell is wrong?

sometimes this happens once in a blue mood and this is the second time it happened to me. after the first time, it went away and now it came back.

thanks HT

when the tires chirp...does your vehcile "wobble" side to side? if so i belive your LSD is starting to go.

15-50 is not the correct fluid. Honda MTF is the way to go and i would add some form of LSD addidtive.
