Palio steering fault

Anyone else had this Fiat Palio steering issue? Mine's a 2012 diesel, only 30k km, and the power steering is acting up. Wheel's shaking, handling feels spongy, and the error memory has a fault logged. Steering's getting harder, feels like the power steering is cutting out. Checked the obvious stuff, but no luck. What gives?

Vibrating steering on a Palio, eh? Sounds familiar! I had something similar with my Palio (don't remember the year). Was it like driving through jelly? Did it throw up any warning lights?

Jelly is a good way to put it! No warning lights, just the error code when they plugged it in. You think it's the steering column itself or something else?

Could be the steering column, sure. But before you tear into that, I'd bet good money it's a dodgy connection somewhere. Mine turned out to be a frayed cable on the electric steering. I'd get it checked at a workshop to be sure. Cost me 95€.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on - faulty cable. 95€ and it's sorted. Appreciate the help!
