Default Power Steering issues?

Hey guys, I have a 2003 SS. The power steering isn't a present issue. But I can certainly feel a difference compared to other cars. Mainly when I make a U-turn. Or make a slow turn. On sharp turns it seems to respond well.

Anyone else notice this?

It just doesn't turn as smooth as any other car I have driven. Actually it whines a bit sometimes. Specifically on slow turns.

do you feel kind of a click while you turn the wheel?

Intermediate steering shaft (ISS) is a common problem. You can do some temporary fixes at home and never feel that again.

Yea sometimes it clicks a bit.

I read that in the recall thread but wasn't sure if that was my problem. Thanks
