As I was driving the car, it started to steer to the left gently. It felt really loose turning left and stiff when turning right.
I don't have a puncture and i wasn't tramlining on the road.

It corrected itself afterwards and steering feels fine and dandy again.
It's just a guess thats its the power steering btw. Just wanted to know if anybody has had this before?

just earlier tonight, hence i'm back home early.
at first thought it was a puncture, but couldn't here anything that resembles a flat tyre. checked and tyres are fine.

everything feels fine now though.
just started behaving odd for a few miles.

torque steer sensor in ecu-common fault on corsa c meriva and tigra b-basically ecu recognises torque of steering wheel been turned and calculates how much power to send when turning wheels-sometimes one sensor reads wrong restricting aid when turning one way-makes it feel like car is pulling.

You will need the EPS unit replaced will cost about £700, if it is not bothering you to much I would just let it go as is.
