i have a 2004 1.1 active, the steering is working both in normal/city modes, but when driving on a straight road, i can feel a little resistance to turning the wheel, its like stiction, the wheel moves freely when its moving, and when i wobble it side to side it feels free, but if its stopped it sticks slightly and needs a extra bit of effort to make it move, (the kind of tiny movements you you make subconsciously when driving). this is only small its barley noticeable, i'm comparing it to another car which I've just sold which had 'normal' power steering. but i find it tiring when driving. main question is, is this a fault, or is it supposed to be like this? when the wheel moves(un sticks) i can hear a slight tick noise coming from the column area also. i think it might be something to do with the motor not just something that needs greasing?
