Default Power steering

After driving my truck aorund for two weeks and I got back in my S but the steering feels a lot stiffer than it used to.
im not sure if i just got used to my truck but it does feel off.

Today while backing out of my driveway i was turning right and mid turn i felt like the steering wheel kept turning on its own
this only happened as i backed out and once i was on the road it felt fine.

anyone else experience anything like this?

Hmm, not sure. When was the last time you checked your tire pressure?

It may have something to do with your caster settings as well. Just an fyi

I will have to have my alignment checked out i guess. Im no good with suspensions
Im usually pretty good with engines but ive never had any training or experience with suspensions

The EPS modulator is starting to go out or you have a bad battery. The EPS uses alot of POWER. Upon startup your car is sending most of the power to the starting system and the EPS is lagging creating a jerking feeling in the wheel back and forth. Sometime its will just spin the wheel in your hand. Try adding an extra ground from the battery to a chassis ground near where the EPS is grounded if not the same ground locationa nd see if that helps.

If it is the EPS modulator and it eventually does go out
How expensive is a new one?
