I just purchased a 2002 216 ssi and noticed that the steering at low speed (10 mph or less) is sluggish both left and right and makes it very difficult to manuever in a straight line. Drive belt is tight and in good shape. Power steering fluid is normal. I steers well once up on plane or at higher speeds. Steering is stiff when turning both left and right then seems to release after turning the wheel 15-20 deg.. any suggestions as to where the problem might lie?
