sticky steering

[jogris]

I wonder if you guys have any info

when I turn the wheel to right at below 40mph the steering

sticks and needs to be coaxed back, I have new front end parts

after the tie rods broke, perfect alignment done, it doesn't happen

all the time,also at higher speeds does not happen... . I'm leaning to

maybe the steering column what does anyone think

I'm only guessing but it sounds like an improper front end alignment to me. Perhaps a new front end part recently installed is faulty or installed incorrectly?

I wouldn't suspect the steering column under normal circumstances but would be more likely to suspect recently performed repairs and alignment.

I had a similar problem with the steering wheel feeling like it sticks. Mine was related to the power steering resevoir having to much fluid in it. It started with the steering wheel sticking while I was driving between 45 & 65 MPH. I pulled over to find that the cap had been blown off. I put on a new cap from the dealer, not an after market and had the same problem. When I checked the fluid level I found that it was just passed the high mark. I removed enough fluid to put in mid way on the stick. No more problems. I hope this helps.
