hi all

hope everyone had a great christmas and boxing day!,i have a 04 rodeo lt d/cab 4x4, the problem with the steering is when you turn it the first half turn it is very stiff both to the left and right , but it does not do it all the time and after that it goes back to normal operation, when going around corners and so on the steering wheel does not spin back around at all you have to manually do it it holds the position that you used to go around the corner . i have checked fluid levels and there is no play in colum any idea's
thanks for the help in advance guys

cheers steve

Don't muck about with steering. Get it checked out. It hurts a lot if it fails. take it from me, I tried it once!

it could be the steering pump on its way out or even the belt may be too loose causing it not to operate when its first started but as for not returning to centre it maybe in the box or pump
