For the last week I have noticed when sitting still or moving very slow and turning the steering wheel it feels "jumpy" or "jittery" It will get a little harder to turn then smooth then harder and smooth again. Like every 1/4 inch the steering wheel moves. It does it in gravel and pavement. Does this sound like perhaps the motor is going out?

Thanks

 

either that or the column bearing itself, is there any clicking sound involved??

 

No clicking that I have heard just the "stutter" in the steering wheel.

 

Not a good practice to be turning the steering when sitting still. It puts too much strain on the electric steering motor.
