Vauxhall Corsa C - Common Power Steering Faults with Corsa 05 plate - squibsquib

Is there any known common faults with the electrical power steering with the corsa c? My steering doesnt feel correct. It a little heavier to turn one way and lighter the other and also pulls to the right sight slightly. Someone mentioned to me there was a common fault on these steering systems but just want to find out more before i take it to a garage.

"Electro hydraulic steering rack and rear wheel bearing failures fairly common. Racks are £600 for the parts alone"

A Corsa C uses an electric motor on the steering column.

They can be rebuilt:- Try these people.

Very common, before you go and get a very expensive repair consider this.
