yup I steer out of turns when I first drive out in the morning or when I'm turning really slowly.

I find revving the engine and driving a while helps to soften things up a bit. Also, I push the steering wheel telescoping position back in toward close the dash, and that seems to help keep the wheel turning more softly. (it doesn't have to travel far to reposition itself every time I exit the car, keeps the mechanisms softer for the next drive, I feel)

Also, I purposely dry-steer (turn wheels while not moving) I know that this is a nono for a lot of reasons but i feel it helps to warm up the steering motor mechanism. Experts, please correct me if im wrong on this .
