Resistance in steering

Recently purchased a 2010 9-5 and have had no issues bar one. When your at around 70/80 kmh and turn the steering wheel an inch or two to the right it feels as if there's a bit of resistance in the wheel and then goes back to normal once you pass that point.
Any ideas what this could be related to?
Thanks

If I remember correctly, the 9-5 Aero has speed compensated power steering. So at higher speeds it requires more effort, since you would normally turn the wheel much less than at slower speeds. Depending on the mileage, it may not hurt to flush the power steering system anyway. Believe it uses Dexron VI fluid.
