right got my car lowered sunday driving and sometimes the steering just goes really tight and stiff, will this be due to one of my drives shafts had a leak that we solved but filled back up which hasnt been leaking.... or i dunno, it is a stuggle to steer but when slowing down it is ok, would it just be due to speed ???

his driveshaft has been sealed back up but did leak and not refilled with the fluid ? So the driveshaft is sealed back up but has lost some fluid ?

think it would be easier, well i was doing around 70-80 and it just went soo tight and really worried me, on the brakes to 50 then went to normal, then on the way home was doing around 30 and it was doing the same

hmm if the driveshaft had leaked surely it would have made a noise maybe the spring hasnt settled properly yet?

no shouldnt be to do with that mate, cant think why its doing it at high speed and not at low speed

same here the only other thing(s) i can think of is the damper is f***ed and not compressing properly or the spring isnt sat properly in the seat

Parking on the curb could have knocked out the camber and like you say possibly also knocked the spring out of line. By going quicker the air resistance could be pushing the car down onto it, then when you slow down the pressure on the spring is released, well just a thought!
