Steering wheel feels lighter when turning right Sign In

Hi all,

I've bought a KIA Proceed GT in July last year. The car was manufactured in 2021, though it is a pre-facelift version. Roughly 2 months ago I've run over a pothole when turning left. Nothing bad happened to the tire, nor did the wheel get damaged. However, ever since the steering wheel feels lighter on the right compared to left turn. On the straights, the car pulls to the right. It is said to be normal for Kia Proceeds, though.
Geomtery is ok, and so is the wheel alignment. Tire pressure is fine too.
I took my Kia to the electromechanic to have him check power steering - nothing wrong with it either.

A week ago, a steering column bearing was replaced by the authorised Kia service centre. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. The diagnostic station didn't see anything worrying in relation to the suspension which poses a question of what may cause this annoying issue?

How do you know that?

Do you have measurements for all the angles including SAI, thrust line, setback, included angle along with Camber and Caster?
