Default Steering goes Light then heavy - feels like your driving on Ice

Hi I have an S70 T5 and when driving it lately I have noticed that the steering goes light then heavy and it also feels like it is snatching the wheel both left and right.

I have had to top up the power steering fluid monthly since about Aug of last year to stop the steering from groaning....

Any ideas on this would be great and who should i take the car to?? I am in Reading Berkshire so the closer the better really.

Thanks

Si

First I would check the front tires and wheels. If they are all fine then the steering rack may be going bad.
