Thanks for the very informative posts from GeorgeandKira and Turbodave, and having just had this issue develop in my C70.
I'd suggest the first port of call would be to grease the steering stops, they are a well known "issue" with all the 850 (sic) and P2 series.

Second port of call would be the "rubber washer" at the base of the steering column as it passes through the bulkhead aka firewall - in dry weather these have a habit of producing a heavy rub/buzz/grinding noise as the steering wheel is rotated left or right, but more commonly left - a splodge of copper ease or lithium grease on the bush/washer/interface solves the problem - IMHO it will be the steering stops on the end of the lower wishbones that are the problem.
