My '26 has "notchy" steering. When driving straight ahead, the steering

seems to like to stick and then as pressure on the wheel is increased, the

steering jumps to a new position. This makes driving the car down the road

something like tacking a sailboat. I had been intending to add some steering

box lube to see if the motion got easier. Maybe something more dramatic needs

to happen?
