[s-cars] Re: [V6-12v] Weird steering problem

Q: Is it perhaps that your right arm is significantly stronger than
your left? And the 'jerk point' happens at the limit of you left arm's
ability to push around the steering wheel (say about 7 o'clock on the
dial)?

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but it a possibility
that came to mind.

Is the problem detectable with the Servotronic on?
