I have a 2010 Honda City 1.3 Manual that has a strange issue. After driving for over an hour on the motorway, the steering wheel meets resistance when making very small incremental adjustments to maintain the lane, like I have to push it past the sticking point. Tire inflation is good and alignment was done recently. Also got the front left wheel bearings changed recently, if that's somehow relevant.
It affects the very minor adjustments I make, slightly left or right of center, to keep in the lane. Normally, these adjustments are subconscious, but with this issue, they’re a distraction since I have to apply more force and the car suddenly swerves more than required when the steering wheel "unsticks".
Would appreciate if someone could help me out with this. I travel on the motorway very frequently and wouldn't want to run into any trouble.
