Steering wheel feels weightier turning left than when turning right
 
I've noticed this before, but it's becoming a bit more prominent now. When I turn left, the steering wheel feels heavier than when I turn right. It almost seems like there's less power steering when I turn left.

I actually like the weightier feel of turning left, but it doesn't seem right when the steering wheel is unbalanced. Has anyone experienced this?

And I did consider the shape of the road (crowned roadway) and even on sections where the road isn't crowned, turning left still feels weightier.

Don't turn right?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist).
I've never heard this one before.
Take it to the dealer and ask them to check it out. Be prepared for "vehicle performs within factory specifications" though.

If you could figure out what's causing the higher weight/effort, duplicate it on both sides and post a DIY, you will be many an a4 owner's hero.

(I hope Audi is reading this.. Why does this excellent car with excellent front-end geometry/precision need so much assist? WHY?)

DOes DIY stand for Do-It-Yourself? And I am actually really enjoying turning left right now, just so I get a better steering feel :P

You're not a champion arm wrestler, are you?

Haha no way, but I've never seen anything like that.

And I'm left handed. :)
