My experience was exactly like you describe, steering would stay where you put it.
It's good you mentioned that.

My passenger side upper strut mount is starting to give me some creaking noises in the morning. I can feel the strut bearing is binding but not enough to cause the front wheel to stay turned even after letting go of the steering wheel or releasing the steering input.
I may need to start looking into a new set of upper strut mounts too.
Can these bearings be relubed or just go ahead and replace them since it's got 250k miles on them?
