What snowwolf said.

I have an Insignia as my daily and when I got back into the Ro for the first time this year the steering felt really heavy.

Dunno but my R8 has developed squeaky steering - sounds as though it's coming from the steering column itself.

I had something like that - turned out to be a bit of rust/crap on the steering assembly under a rubber boot. Emery clean and grease up - all good.
