I'm not taking the Mickey but I had exactly the same problem three cars back. Everything was checked and various bushes replaced but I still had the problem.
I finally resolved the problem by having an operation on my arm, one arm had become much stronger than the other, cue for smutty comments.
Everything is back to normal now the surgeon has done a bit of chopping.

Re: Steering Weight Difference
I'm intrigued - did you make your stronger arm weaker or the weaker arm stronger...Ricmondo wrote:I'm not taking the Mickey but I had exactly the same problem three cars back. Everything was checked and various bushes replaced but I still had the problem.

Re: Steering Weight Difference
It enabled the right arm once more to function correctly and regain lost muscle tissue, worked very well but my shoulders are knackered now. I blame always leaning on the same end of the bar at Penarth Yacht Club.

Re: Steering Weight Difference
Apologies in advance for asking the obvious but I suppose you have tried swapping the wheels around to check that it isn't tyre related, assuming pressures are correct.
If it's none of the above I'd put my money on a collapsed or otherwise compromised bush (bushes).
