Default Steering column position causes different steering reaction ! .

Just something i though i would mention , I don't know if this is just with my car or what / or if it just the angle of the uni-joint in the steering rack.

I noticed when i first bought my car that the steering column position was pretty much fully in ( towards the dash ) and up to the max. For the first week or 2 i didn't adjust the steering cloumn ( didn't even think of it ) .
I noticed when coming out of sharp u-turns that the steering wheel didn't sorta auto spin back to the centre position under acceleration/ it also felt a bit stiff for power steering.
At first i thought it was a steering problem , yet after adjusting the steering column mid way out toward myself and lowered too / the steering seems much lighter (much better) and also auto-return to centre under acceleration out of a u-turn np.
Has anyone else experienced these same sorta conditions with the steering column in different positions on the AU series ?
