Any play in the steering?
no, not even a 1/2",,,but the steeing is too hard but tight indeed, so i can live with this problem, and the small steering wheel also causes so...
but however there is somthing strange during steering; first, it does not automaticly turn straight after taking a turn,,, second, i feel some points in the steering radius wich feels like "stop points", but it continue after this points, 1 or 2 points per side steering...

What was your wheel alignment set to? The stock wheel alignment settings require everything be in A1 condition, wheel camber zero crossing during driving will change the loading/direction of loading on the steering joints, any slack and there is a shimmie. SuperBeetle wheel alignment is EVERYTHING, when our cars perishable parts get old, the optimum wheel alignment changes as you drive.
a few weeks ago, i do the wheel alignment and wheel rotating(outside the car), the problem disapeared dramatically but it's still there, only at turns as i said ...
i didn't change any bushings or any part in the front from +3 years ago, but i will when there's nothing else solve it...
