Nibble 

Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various road surfaces and observed by the driver as small
rotational oscillations of the steering wheel.

Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering 

Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center after a turn or the steering correction is
completed.

Drift/Pull 

Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep the vehicle going straight.

Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel.
^

A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path and require constant steering input in the
opposite direction to counteract the effect.

^

Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.
