Default Steering clunk when cold

Hi Evryone

from a few weeks I've noticed, when I drive to work in the morning, that when the car is cold (0/-2°C outside) by exiting the parking lot and turning lot the steering wheel it makes a loud " knock" like if the tyres where sliding sideways(Very painful to hear) . But once I'm out of the parking lot and drive straight it goes normal ; even if I turn the wheel completely.

it seems like it happens only when the car is very cold .

Could it be that the belt is not thigten enough? But it's not the squeaking about a lot of people complain about ...

I hope it's not something expensive cuz I will have to replace also the clutch shorty...

thanks a lot lot in advance

Oliver

(I hope I explained myself)

p.s I have a 2003 blobeye WRX
