My car turns left noticeably easier than right.. does this mean the motor is on it's way out?

Technical Electric Steering failing?
Check your tracking and ball joints. I had this problem, changed the arms and (obviously) did the tracking and the problem was resolved.

It's recently had new wishbones, although I think this problem came at the time these were replaced. I've also had the tracking done recently too, no improvement other than it doesn't wander across the road anymore..
Did you do the track rod ends too? (forgot to mention this).

This was when I used the garage, I believe they did not...
Could this be what is needed?

It's certainly possible. It's sure unlikely to be the PS if it only happened after the arms were changed. The PS assists whatever is helping it, not just the driver... (tracking and any tightness causing a prefference in one direction (not the &^%$ boy band).
Punto melt PS like toast does butter but the Cento is light. I live in a twisty place and have never had one fail yet. Also we don't have the *ity buntton which overloads the steering motor.
It could be the motors but rule out all the mechanical possibilities first.

Ok, thanks for that. I will look into getting new track rod ends, although then it would be another £40 to get the tracking re-done.
Try track rod ends with rough measurements from the old ones. If it sorts the situation get the tracking done. If not approach the electrical aspect. You'd be a fool to do the PS without doing the rod ends anyway they cost peanuts.
No, it means you've built up big muscles on your right arm for some reason.My car turns left noticeably easier than right.. does this mean the motor is on it's way out?

Aside from the track rod ends, is there anything else that could be causing this?
Since I've fitted the 14" alloys it's made it more noticeable.
It pulls to the right under acceleration and goes perfectly straight when I let off the accelerator..
Also If I'm parked and I dip the clutch the steering wheel twitches

Could be the power steering ecu I had a passenger knock the ps ecu in my old sei and from that day on it pulled to the left
I believe you can have them re calibrated at fiat but as said id get the rod ends done first
