anyone else had experienced occasional momentary steering lock-ups

Is this the sort of suit that Snook defends? (42 USC ยง1983 against Torrance CA)

Heck yes! It has happened to me a few times in the '05 E320 when going over
bumps at lower speed while turning. It is like it hits a stop then releases.
Very strange.
