Unhappy Steering woes

I have been reading various threads regarding steering problems people have been having lately and none of the descriptions quite matches mine!

I have been putting off posting anything about it because I can't really describe it - it just feels wrong!!

There is a slight knock felt when turning from the straight-ahead but nothing too major. I had a major creak last year which required a new column, but it is not the same as that this time round.

The car is also pulling to the left. I have read that this was a problem on early MINIs but as I have had the car since Sept '02 it is obviously something which has developed and not something that has been there since new. Having checked the tyres, there is no uneven tread wear that would suggest the tracking was off or anything. And as far as I know the wheels havent been clinked off kerbs or anything silly.

Anyone any thoughts? I don't really want to take it to the dealer until I have at least some idea of what is wrong!! But at the same time, I don't want to be driving an ill MINI for longer than I have to.
