Hi. Have anyone had problems with its steering when first start-up in the morning or when car is cold? Continuously I'm having this problem.
Basically it consist of excesive resistance to the steering movement when the car is cold. Sometimes you feel some shaking of the front when beginning to perform the steering movement to any side. I checked out the service manual but seems to be pretty complicated and too technical for me. Initially I though that it was related to steering lubrication but as I understood from the service manual, the steering systems seems to be electrical. Also checked oem parts to try to determine which one may be causing the issue. The tie rods, which are the only low cost parts, seems to be fixed parts. So that leave me with 2 heavy $$$$ parts: the control module and the steering gear.
Any idea or previous experience from anyone?
