Problem could be in the gear box and that it needs to be adjusted. The proper (and safe) way to do this will also require the aid of a spring gauge (I believe you can rent these). If the gear box adjustment is within spec (1.5kg, 3.3 lbs. 15N) then the problem could be in the steering rack or one of the other suspension components such as a loose tie rod or a worn out bushing. Does the car wander from left to right while driving? And when was the last time the alignment was checked?
