I've been having some steering issues (pulling to the left, steering wheel shaking...in case it's relevant...found a bent rim today) that I've been working on lately. Today when my dad was messing around with it he said the steering wasn't acting right while just sitting there and that it could mean a bad steering pump. My brother-in-law agreed and said it could be some spring somewhere (they're both truck mechanics, but know nothing specific about my car). What it's doing is, say if you turn it counter-clockwise, when you let go it'll turn a little bit clockwise or vise versa. I always assumed this was normal, due to the tension put on the tires. Apparently with power steering it should not move at all after you let go. Is this true? If so, what could be causing it to turn back?

I did notice that his Camry doesn't do it. But the steering on that car seems really, really light. My wife's New Beetle does the same thing as mine, just not as much :-\.'07 Female Miniature Dachshund, Long Hair Edition, Red.
