If it's "knotchy" as you turn the wheel then look at the steering shaft U/Js, try some light oil on them and leave it overnight to soak in.  :wink:

I agree Dazza. Mine goes stiff occasionally (usually after a good mud bath). After spraying the U/J's with some liquid grease and it frees up nicely :wink:  Gotta be worth a try.

If the UJ's don't reveal anything, try taking the steering damper off.  A bent or damaged damper can cause a 'notch'
