Default Steering problem

since the weather has been colder i noticed that my steering feels as if there is something rubbing on the sterring colum. For instance, when turning the wheel there is some resistance and it feels like something is rubbing. I remember reading something about a bushing that goes around the shaft by the pedals. The resistance is comming from there it feels. What is this called? Any other ideas?

Dont know what to tell you, the only things that I can think of is if your reservoir is full, or if you have aftermarket headers, it will sometimes rub the steering shaft according to what kind and size you have. If I was you, I would have someone sit inside the car and you climb under the car and let them turn your steering wheel, listen for wierd noises and scraping
