My steering on my RX8 seems a little harder to turn right than when turning left, there is not a massive difference but noticeable, it still turns smooth lock to lock just always turning the steering wheel right it just feels harder.
Any ideas? anyone?

Thanks for reply, I did do a search and read some threads but do not think they relate to my problem.
The problem I have is not a total failure, or do any warning lights come up, if turning the steering wheel to the left to full lock it is fine, light if I turn it from full lock left to the right it feels heavier, not heavy as in total failure of power steering just a little heavier, but quite noticeable. so still assisted but not as much as the turning left.

That is how my problems began. Increasing difficulty turning to one side. That progressed into an apparent tendency to pull to the "easy" side while driving. After monkeying around with the dealer and wheel alignments and finally having the power steering go out altogether I found the thread above. My problem turned out to be the upper connector on the problematic harness. I had temporary relief from resoldering the pins, then finally permanent fix by hard-soldering the wires together. No problems since.
Not saying this is necessarily your problem but I did have a similar complaint.
