    Which axis are you getting the play in ?, up & down, or side to side ?

    Up & down is usually bearing slop, side to side may be tie rod ends.

    Also, search steering adjustment. There was a write up a while back on adjusting the slop out of the power steering.

    Curious since I am thinking of doing this before the peak of winter....

    What, if any, sort of goodies should be done to the rear? I admit, I have been neglecting the VX since I got the WRX, but I retired the WRX for the weekend and took the VX out for the whole beautiful weekend. She is driving great, but the front pull is making the ride more of a fight now, and its time to do the bearings, new tires, alignment, and whatever may need to be done to the rear at around 40k miles. Sorry, I am simply too lazy to look in the manual, and to be honest, I trust you all more than the manual, heh.

    All the rear should need is a fluid change as the rear bearings are lubricated by diff. fluid.
    Don't forget the LSD.
