Default Drifting?

K, I know its not really DRIFTING, but whatever. In winter I take my GS300 out and just go drifting, mostly in parking lots. I currently dont have a standard RWD car with enough HP to get it sideways on dry concrete so I cant actually drift. So until then I just practice controlling drifts with my lexus.

Im not sure about you guys, but I drive the **** outta my car. Whenver Im drifting it feels like theres such rank pressure on the steering. Not sure what it is, but whenever I do a good day of drifting, my steering seems to be really stiff afterwards, or just feel different. Ive never really known what can be effected by putting my car sideways constantly. Anyways my question is, is drifting actually bad on my car? If so what parts might I want to look at replacing (I already replaced tie rods)

If your Steering fluid reservoir is leaky or the hose is, then a day of drifting will make it feel stiff and make sounds when you turn.

Hot PS fluid will feel that way. You need a better PS cooler.
