Steering

My 2010, when making right hand turns, the steering seems to “stick” a little as it straightens out. The steering wheel won’t come back smoothly. It's been really cold here in New England and she's always out in it. Only 6300 miles, mostly highway
Any thoughts?

The strut top mounts could be sticking. I suspect dirt/gravel/salt has gotten up in there and is binding it up slightly. It would probably work it's way out or you could shoot some compressed air and spray lube at the strut mount bearings.
