Replaced Steering Column - Now very twitchy - HELP!!

[astonphillips]

Folks
I have had the steering column replaced as the EPS had failed - fitted and coded - but now the steering is light and twitchy - I have all the kit to program - could this me the steering angle sensor?? - would a calibration fix this? - want to sell the car as my wife is pregnant and getting in and out of the car is an issue!! - but not with this fault! - any info would be greatly received - Many thanks

I think your right with recalibrating the steering angle sensor, I have seen that this needs doing even if you have the steering and geo aligned so very possible that your repairs could need the same

What's the mileage on your car?
When the change the steering column they may not have changed the knuckle that connects it to the steering rack; if this has been excessively worn your wheels may feel like they have a life of their own, as the excess play in that knuckle will allow them to move by themselves more than they should, making it twitchy. This also causes tramlining.
