Description of the problem	I noticed that while driving pass 35 mph the steering wheel gets kinda stuck in the 12 o'clock position. If i try to steer either to the right or left it gets stuck litely, now it will not do it if i'm making a complete turn! It's hard driving down the highway because you can't keep the vehicle straight in the lane because of the steering wheel sticking. Just wanted to note that it does it not only on the highway but also on city streets. It's only happening after i go over approximately after 35 mph.
