    I also have this issue, did you find out what it was? My steering isn't stiff but when you wiggle the wheel left and right you can feel it knock as if the rack is hitting something

    Have you checked the fluid? Could need either a top up or changing, also inspect the pipe work, especially around the cooler, notorious split point there. Otherwise the rack itself could be on it's way out.
